North Carolina, Villanova fans react to National Championship

Chapel Hill — It doesn’t get much more exciting — or heart wrenching — than a last-second shot to clinch a national championship. In fact, it hadn’t been done in over three decades until Kris Jenkins hit a clutch 3-pointer to crush the Tar Heels’ hopes of a sixth title.

The shot sent shockwaves throughout Philadelphia. Meanwhile, that same dagger simultaneously muted Chapel Hill.

Here’s a look at some of the best reactions from the shot along with a look at some shots from North State Journal photojournalists Madeline Gray and Eamon Queeney.
