Vault Visit | North Carolina wins the National Championship

They beat Gonzaga 71-65.

NORTH CAROLINA, USA — This year WFMY News 2 turns 75!  So to celebrate, we're opening the WFMY News 2 vault.

It's that time of year--on the first we showed Duke winning their first National Championship.

April 3, 2017, is when UNC won their latest championship!

After losing the championship at the buzzer the previous year, the Tar Heels finished their redemption tour and won the national title.

They beat the Gonzaga bulldogs 71 to 65 in Phoenix to take home the hardware.

 The team featured the Triad's own Theo Pinson.

And many fans remember Luke Maye’s miracle shot against Kentucky to send the Heels to the Final Four.

The title was Head Coach Roy Williams' third national title and the university's sixth.
