Wrapping up the tournament:
Final game recap:
This year # 1 seed
North Carolina got a form of redemption with a 71-65 win over # 1 seed
Gonzaga. It was a year ago in the championship game where
Villanova's Kris Jenkins hit the game winner at the buzzer to eke out a
77-74 win over the Tar Heels. This year's championship game was
mediocre at best with both teams shooting under 36% from the field for
the game. North Carolina, despite being outrebounded by Gonzaga
and shooting 4-27 (15%) from 3 point range still managed to win this
game. Justin Jackson completed a 3 point play with 1:40 left in
the game to put North Carolina in the lead and they hung on to seal
Coach Roy William's third national championship. There was a total
of 44 personal fouls called in the game and the 52 combined free throws
slowed the game down.
The 2017 All tournament team
was comprised of North Carolina's Joel Berry II MOP, Justin Jackson &
Kennedy Meeks and Gonzaga's Nigel Williams-Goss & Zach Collins
