It was, in North Carolina’s words, a redemption tour – filled with extra time on the practice court and the weight room, all fueled by a devastating loss in last year’s title game on Kris Jenkins’ 3-point dagger at the buzzer for Villanova.
Gonzaga’s 7-footer Przemek Karnowski from Poland finished the game having almost a double double (9 p. 9 r.), while French forward Killian Tillie added one point ande 9 rebounds.
Coach Roy Williams got his third championship, putting him one ahead of his mentor, Dean Smith, and now behind only John Wooden, Mike Krzyzewski and Adolph Rupp.
