HOUSTON (AP) - One good shot deserved another. • Kris Jenkins of Villanova wasn't about to be outdone. • Jenkins overcame the shock of watching North Carolina's Marcus Paige hit a double-clutch 3 to tie it by spotting up behind the right side of the arc and draining a 3 of his own at the buzzer to lift Villanova to a 77-74 victory and the national championship Monday night. • What a shot! What a game! • The second-seeded Wildcats (35-5) had a six-point lead with 1:52 left, but watched it slowly trickle away. Then, it was gone. Paige collected the ball and jumped to take the shot. With Ryan Arcidiacono running at him, Paige double clutched and pumped one from beyond the arc to tie the game at 74 with 4.7 seconds left. • After a timeout, Arcidiacono took the inbound pass from Jenkins, worked the ball upcourt and got it back to the junior guard. Jenkins took two quick stutter steps and, with daylight between himself and the defender, swished it from about two paces behind the 3-point line. • ''Kris told him he was going to be open, Arch made the perfect pass,'' Villanova coach Jay Wright explained. ''Kris lives for that moment.'' • Jenkins' range is anywhere in the gym, as he showed earlier in the tournament by nonchalantly draining a shot from the edge of the midcourt logo. • When this one went up, he never had a doubt. • ''I think every shot's going in,'' he said, ''and this one was no different.'' • He finished with 14 points - the last three as memorable as any that have been scored in the history of this tournament. • After being thrown to the floor by his teammates, he got up, leaped over press row, hugged his birth mom - a college basketball coach who helped him hone his shot - and shouted, ''They said we couldn't, they said we couldn't, they said we couldn't.'' • Oh yes, they could. • This adds to the other title Villanova won in 1985, when Rollie Massimino, who was on hand Monday night, coaxed a miracle out of his eighth-seeded underdogs for a victory over star-studded Georgetown.
