The Villanova Wildcats defeated the North Carolina Tar Heels 77-74 to win the NCAA National Championship in Houston on Monday night. 

The Wildcats won the game at the buzzer on a pull up three from forward Kris Jenkins off of a pass from Ryan Arcidiacono. 

Villanova's win marks the first time a Big East team has won the national championship since 2011 (UConn) and the first time a current Big East team has won the national championship since 1985.
