There is still plenty of buzz surrounding the Villanova Wildcats' dramatic victory over the North Carolina Tar Heels for the 2016 NCAA championship, but for the player at the center of it all, it has not sunk in yet.

On "CBS This Morning" Tuesday, junior forward Kris Jenkins downplayed his game-winning buzzer-beater.

"I think every shot I take is going in, so that one felt no different," Jenkins said. He also gave credit to his teammate, Ryan Arcidiacono, who passed him the ball before the winning shot and was named the tournament's most outstanding player.

"I was able to get in on Ryan's vision and he gave me the perfect pass," Jenkins said.

Jenkins was immediately tackled by his teammates after the incredible three-pointer that clinched the second national title in school history.

But the game also holds special meaning for his family. Both his adopted and birth mother watched as he faced his brother -- North Carolina guard Nate Britt -- on the court. The brothers met on the courts when they were 10 years old. The Britts legally adopted Jenkins in 2007, because his birth mother felt it would provide a better life for her son.

"It was something special for our family - something that just shows that the sacrifice and hard work, it was worth it," Jenkins said.

Regarding his brother, Jenkins said, "he did stress that he was upset that they lost, but he was happy for me."

After Monday night's celebrations, Jenkins said the first thing he now hopes to do is "get some sleep."

"I spent time with my family and I just stayed up and talked with my teammates, and before I knew it, it was seven in the morning," he said.
