Watch the reaction from Villanova fans to the shot that won the national title
Classes have been canceled at Villanova University on Tuesday, and you can understand why.
None of the students likely has a voice today. There was some serious cheering and screaming and yelling after Kris Jenkins’ three-pointer gave Villanova a 77-74 win over North Carolina.
Nearly 5,000 fans were gathered at the Villanova Pavillion on Monday night and here was the reaction to Jenkins’ shot (from Patrick Shatkus):

Comcast SportsNet had this shot from a bar in near campus, and it too is wonderful:
