NCAA Basketball: 25 greatest buzzer beaters of all time
1. Kris Jenkins downs UNC for national title (2016)
Now let’s take a look at the buzzer-beater that topped the famous Christian Laettner shot from 1992.
Kris Jenkins will go down in history with arguably the most clutch shot of all time, and it happened to be for the national title.
Villanova had just allowed the game-tying 3-pointer to North Carolina, but that didn’t faze the Wildcats, as they stormed down the floor in just under five seconds. Jenkins was in the right place at the right time, as Ryan Arcidiacono flipped the ball into his waiting hands and he rose and fired.
North Carolina fans, you may want to turn away for this one.
Jay Wright and Roy Williams were equally stunned as Jenkins’ game-winner hit the bottom of the net, but on different ends of the emotional spectrum.

Villanova was in full-blown celebration mode while the Tar Heels were still trying to ponder what had just happened to rob them of an overtime opportunity to win a national title.
Take a bow, Kris.
