Kris Jenkins' epic shot gives Villanova a title and March Madness a new hero

Villanova's Kris Jenkins calmly tossed the ball to Ryan Arcidiacono, 4.7 seconds and approximately 70 feet away from the first true buzzer-beater and greatest ending in college basketball title game history. Arcidiacono took six dribbles as he snaked his way up the floor. Jenkins was playing possum by trailing but not rushing too fast; he didn't want to scare the defense, and he knew he'd have the space.Jenkins' defender, Isaiah Hicks, followed the ball, not the man. The double-team inevitably came on Arcidiacono when Joel Berry II -- and then Hicks -- picked him up.
Right then, the Villanova senior heard a voice. He heard Jenkins bark.
