VILLANOVA, Pa. (AP) – Phil Booth can live with hitting only Villanova’s second-biggest buzzer beater in a national championship game.
Let’s throw it back to April 2016 in Houston.
“Five seconds to go in the half. Booth. He has time. Looks up, puts it up. And got it!” TBS announcer Jim Nantz said.
“Big time dagger. Booth!” analyst Bill Raftery said.
Just like that, Booth’s jumper at the horn cut North Carolina’s lead to 5 at halftime.
