Sonoran Hot Reads: Villanova wins National Championship on buzzer-beater

Yay Wildcats!!

The Villanova Wildcats won one for all of us Wildcats out there in what is most likely the best finish in the history of a National Championship game. After Marcus Paige hit a ridiculous three to tie the game with five seconds left, Kris Jenkins did an even more ridiculous thing to win the game at the buzzer for Villanova. The most ridiculous thing though? Jay Wright's "reaction" when the ball went in:

- The reaction from Villanova's Pavilion was a little different:
