ESPN had Nova recreate the play again to see how many times Jenkins would make the shot. He went 7-11. pretty cool piece.

Thanks for posting that, Stever. I had not seen it, and it was amazing.

Class acts, story also carried on TMZ sports as well....

it's in a way even cooler that they did it. Totally took the flukey angle out of it. Thought that was pretty awesome. I was like when I saw it thought that he'd only go 3-11 or worse and it wouldn't look good.

Nice story on Big East.

A bit of a shameless plug here, but I work in the sports publishing industry, and we will be publishing a book on Villanova's championship season with Dana O'Neil of ESPN. Jay Wright will write a foreword for the book, and it should be out in February 2017.

No worries! This was mentioned on the Villanova board and Nova Nation is looking forward to reading this book. Thanks for keeping us posted!

so my AAU girls team had a game this weekend- and we hit a buzzer beater at the end of a half. I watched the video, and it was really close to the exact same play that won Nova the title. I was like- I've seen this before.

An excerpt from Dana O'Neil's book "Long Shots" is up on ESPN.com: http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basket ... dana-oneil

Today is the official release date, so books should be available at all stores and online retailers.
