I know Jay said he thought they were going to add time back on the clock, but that beyond cool, calm, and collected reaction was more than just a coach staying in the moment.

There's no one that credits his opponents and respects them in a win more than Jay freaking Wright. After Oklahoma game, you could tell he genuinely felt bad about blowing them out in such an embarrassing fashion on such a big stage.

There's no doubt in my mind his reaction was nothing but pure empathy towards Roy Williams and the Carolina kids, fully understanding how tough it must be to lose a game like that. He didn't want to celebrate until he had a chance to shake hands with the opponent. He's all class, deserves this beyond words can explain, and I know I speak for all of Nova Nation when I say we couldn't be prouder of him, or have a better representative of our university.

Beyond hitting the HUGE shot the guy was a +14 during the game. We were a different team with him on the court last night.

1. Mopping the floor
2. Setting the screen
3. Running to find someone on the bench
4. Hugging JVP
5. Explaining his mopping in the press conference. "The little kid was having a hard time, and it was my wet spot."

I'll see if I can find any more and post. Resolution should be suitable for desktop background or printing and framing.

What a moment.

there are no negatives allowed on this forum........so, don't classify these as negatives.......but, heard that on N. Broad Street and on 54th Street, I've heard there are many who are just sick, and who are having their worst night-mares...........
And I'll call this borderline negative......but certain media types are saying that if that game had gone to OT, UNC would have won the game..... but, Kris made sure that didn't happen.......

... haven't gotten to sleep yet.
here is a starter article:

will have more later.

I love Kris' game this year. He has really gained a lot of pois that allows him to play to his strengths; mixing in mid-range and post up game with his threes. The "old-man" head fake game is impressive.

What I enjoy just as much is how fired up he gets after big plays. It does not matter if it was a play he made for one of his teammates. I loved his reaction after Booth's dunk. Kris picked up a foul, but then ran right to Phil screaming.

Damn, I love this team.

I've bashed them a lot this year, but their coverage of this game is out of his world. Just listened to Jenkins on Mike and Mike and Jay is coming up soon. They are lavishing endless praise for our guys and program. So I'll happily eat whatever crow as they go way over the top for Nova.

Just got wind that the team is so focused and dialed in they asked Jay for 20 minutes alone as a team without the coaches.

Is it available anywhere? Would love to hear their reactions.

Wow, if it's not the lowest it has to be one of the lower ones.

15+7+3+1+2+1 = 29

29. That's amazing. I'm guessing the only other two who had a "harder" run in terms of highest seeds possible would be UConn's crazy run a few years ago and then Nova in 85?

Thank you Jay Wright, and everyone that has been a part of creating this epic, winning ending to a magical run!
A shout out to all Nova Nation members that I've met and yet to meet as we bask in the glory of this championship!
Cats win! Cats Rule! All done with Class, Heart, Teamwork, and Character.

Any info on this?? Have to think later Tuesday afternoon..............

according to Jay Williams. You will see this as THE tourney highlight for the next 20 years.

I thought I'd start gathering my favorite articles I've read already about the team and last night.

Dana O'Neil, ESPN: How Kris Jenkins' 3 happened and why it perfectly explains Villanova

Chuck Culpepper, Washington Post: Kris Jenkins hits buzzer-beating three-pointer to lift Villanova past North Carolina for NCAA title

Enjoy the celebration, friends.

My wife and I went to the Pavilion tonight. The kids were GREAT!!! I have never heard the Pavilion so loud. If I couldn't make it to Houston, the Pavilion was the next best thing.

There were five helicopters circling the campus. The kids went straight to Lancaster and Ithan and then to the quad. Not much destruction that we could see. Just a lot of jumping around. Let's hope nothing major happens.

The most important thing is that we got to meet up with my two sons after the game. (Class of 2015 & Class of 2019) A great family experience.

Just wanted to be sure I didn't have a heart attack sometime during the 2nd half and am now lying here in a coma dreaming all of this.

It's the little things that wins ....Tom
