Sucks. But can't leave a dude wide open for 3. Let them take the layup.
Virginia wins their first National Championship.
Virginia's championship is the 15th for the ACC tying the Pacific Twelve for the most all-time. It is the ACC's 3rd championship in the last 5 years.
The last Pacific Twelve team to win a National Championship was Arizona in 1997. Since then the ACC has won 8 National Championships.
Virginia is the first team from the state of Virginia to win a National Championship.
Tony Bennett becomes the 3rd coach to win the championship in his first appearance in the title game since 2014. Jay Wright (Villanova, 2016) and Kevin Ollie (Connecticut, 2014) won in their first appearance.
With Virginia winning, it is the 3rd straight year that a #1 seed has won a National Championship.
Texas Tech loses to the team that won the championship for the second consecutive tournament. They lost to Villanova in the Elite Eight last year. Before last year, the only other time they lost to the eventual champion was 1961 when they lost to Cincinnati in the Sweet Sixteen.
Virginia is the first team to win two overtime games in a single tournament since 2000 (Seton Hall). They are the first National Champion to win two overtime games in a single tournament since 1997 (Arizona).

Hope someone mentions the missed travel that should've ended Virginia's run in the Final Four.
I don't hate either of these teams. Virginia has had some rough luck with some really good teams, and Bennett is a coach anyone would want at their school.
I agree that I wish it just would have ended in regulation, OT was a bummer.

Still editing. Its usually 15 mins or so after the game ends.
Wow. How many people would guess highest of century would happen with that matchup (even WITH overtime)?
Thanks. I got confused because Nance did the announcer sign-off ... forgot they don't go directly into it.
If only we could suck like them.
I really like instant replay but I think some changes need to be made. Was the ball off Tech, yep. But the Virginia player committed a foul before knocking the ball out of his hand. Not sure how you correct it though?
I didn't think about that, needing to edit this game's highlight's into the montage.
I jumped the 'ol gun, as they say. Damn, I was all ready to complain and stuff!
Stop letting them watch 18 slowmo replay angles to correct a call made in real time on the floor. They should get a very limited number (like 1 or 2) of looks all at normal speed to correct any exceedingly obvious mistakes and that's it.
