The Villanova vs North Carolina buzzer-beater for the National Championship deserves a deep rewind

Рет қаралды 366,230

Күн бұрын

The last few seconds of the 2016 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament Final between North Carolina and Villanova contained way more than a few seconds of drama. There's the shot that ended the game, and the shot that came right before that ... but that's not all.
To really appreciate this incredible ending to an incredible matchup, you need to go back in time and remember some stuff. You need to recall North Carolina's history as a basketball powerhouse that had hit some recent speed bumps, only to develop an absolute powerhouse that season. You need to know Villanova's tournament history, its playbook, and its own incredible 2016 run. And you need to know about the people who made the Wildcats' final possession happen -- not just their role in the play, but their relationships with their school, each other, and in one case, the opponent.
We need to rewind!

As a Bama fan that’s basically only watched our team have 3-5 good seasons (with 3 of them being within the past 3 years) it was one of my favorite moments of the year beating UNC. I know they didn’t have a great season this past year but the respect I have for their basketball history made it one of the best/coolest wins as a fan watching Bama basketball. Obviously my fav win of the season was tearing AU’s heart into pieces but beating UNC was something I thought I may never see our team do.
