Redemption. Exhilaration. Relief. They all ran through the bloodstreams of UNC’s players and their fans Monday night, as the Tar Heels performed one final great escape to beat Gonzaga 71-65 for the national championship. Led by 22 points from Joel Berry and a defense that forced 14 turnovers, UNC did just enough to edge Gonzaga and win its sixth NCAA title.
