Reactions to the above tie-breaking buzzer beater—the first in a men’s college basketball championship in 30 years—are just as emotive as the shot itself.

On April 4, the 2016 NCAA Men’s Final Four National Championship basketball game ended with a spectacular title-winning three-point shot.

Squaring off at the NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas, Villanova University’s Wildcats played the Tar Heels of University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) in a game that may have had the best ending in the NCAA tournament’s history.
