Michael Jordan’s heart was broken by best buzzer beater in NCAA Tournament history that featured 11 future NBA players
Kris Jenkins sank a game-winner that is still unbelievable. The best buzzer-beater in NCAA Tournament history also broke Micheal Jordan’s heart. GettyKris Jenkins’ last-second 3-pointer was almost too good to be true[/caption] As the March Madness begins again, it’s hard to imagine anyone topping the game-winner that Jenkins hit in 2016. It’s the greatest and biggest shot in the history of The Dance. It also ended a back-and-forth game that featured 11 future NBA players, including a future NBA MVP candidate and three members of 2024-25 New York Knicks. “I think every shot’s going in and this one was no different,” said Jenkins, after he drilled a last-second 3-pointer that gave Villanova a 77-74 victory over North Carolina at NRG Stadium in Houston. NBA legend Michael Jordan watched from the stands with total heartbreak. The Tar Heels’ Marcus Paige watched a double-clutch, game-tying 3 with six seconds to go suddenly be erased by the true definition of a buzzer beater. Jenkins trailed the play, which started with 4.7 seconds left and the score tied at 74. He caught a smooth set-up pass from Ryan Arcidiacono with 1.2 seconds on the clock, then drilled a 3 several feet behind the line. Chaos ensued, with confetti falling from the stadium ceiling before the shot was official, and fans crying in the stands. “One, two step, shoot `em up, sleep in the streets,” Jenkins said.

I told them I wish I could have helped them more.” Villanova’s roster was loaded with future NBA players. Josh Hart, Donte DiVincenzo and Jalen Bruson are now all members of the Knicks.

New York entered Tuesday with a 42-24 record, which is good enough for third place in the East. While Jordan hit a famous shot of his own in 1982 to win the national championship for North Carolina, Jenkins’ 3 came down to the last second and stole a victory in a tense game that appeared set for overtime. It was a true, undisputed game winner and the best buzzer beater in NCAA Tournament history. “I heard someone screaming in the back of my head,” Arcidiacono said. “It was Kris. I just gave it to him and he let it go with confidence.”
