Love, Mona and Ralph
(AP) — North Carolina has its
sixth NCAA basketball champion-
ship.
The Tar Heels survived an ugly,
foul-filled second half Monday
night in Glendale, Ariz. to beat
Gonzaga 71-65. They scored the
final eight points of the game to
pull out the victory. Justin Jackson
delivered the go-ahead 3-point
play with 1:40 left.
Beating the Spokane-based
Zags, which had made it to the Fi-
nal Four and Championship game
for the first time, washed away a
year’s worth of heartache for North
Carolina, fueled by the team’s
devastating loss in last year’s title
game on Kris Jenkins’ 3-point dag-
ger at the buzzer for Villanova.
“I wanted to see this confetti
fall on us and we’re the winners,”
said Carolina’s Joel Berry II, who
led the Heels with 22 points. “We
came out here and we competed. It
came down to the last second, but
we’re national champs now.”
Ducks Just Shy in Final Four
Oregon struggled shooting from the
perimeter and gave up two offensive
rebounds on missed free throws in the
final 6 seconds, leading to a dishearten-
ing 77-76 loss to North Carolina in the
Final Four Saturday in Glendale, Ariz.
It was the first time Oregon had ad-
vanced this far in the NCAA basketball
tournament since they won the national
title in 1939.
“A close loss like this drives coaches
crazy, drives players crazy because you
think about every little thing,” Oregon
coach Dana Altman said.
Oregon (33-6) shot 38 percent, went
3 for 18 from 3-point range in the sec-
ond half and had 16 turnovers, yet

(31) and Dillon Brooks of Oregon Saturday in route to a 77-76 vic- pulled within 77-74 on Tyler Dorsey’s
tory against the Ducks in the Final Four of the NCAA tournament. 3-pointer with 45 seconds left.
