Kris Jenkins Describes His Game-Winning Shot

National Champion Kris Jenkins wrote a piece for SI.com describing his game-winning shot and the past six months:
What I remember most are two things: the shot, and my teammates tackling me right after. Those two thoughts go hand in hand. The three-pointer I hit at the buzzer to beat North Carolina last April was the kind of shot you practice all the time growing up. At the end of a workout I would have someone count down—five, four, three. . . . And then shoot. You can rehearse it, you can envision it, but very rarely do you get the chance to do it, let alone in a national championship game. When I would practice it like that, I never pretended that I was on a particular team or that I was another player. I was always myself, because that’s who I wanted to take the shot.
