The 2018 NCAA Tournament is in the books, and for the second time in three seasons the Villanova Wildcats are your national champions. Villanova claimed the national title by dominating Michigan in the championship game.
It was a tournament full of wild surprises, including UMBC’s upset of No. 1 overall seed Virginia, Sister Jean, and the Loyola-Chicago Cinderella run.
It concluded with the tournament’s most dominant team coming away with the win and hoisting the title.
To look back at March Madness, the NCAA released its annual “One Shining Moment” video that features the best highlights from throughout the tournament.
