The 2016–17 men's college basketball season culminated in redemption for the North Carolina Tar Heels, who won the national championship a year after suffering a heartbreaking loss in the title game. Led by Joel Berry II, Justin Jackson, and Kennedy Meeks, UNC defeated Gonzaga 71–65 in a hard-fought final to claim the program’s sixth championship. Berry, playing through injuries, earned Final Four Most Outstanding Player honors after delivering clutch performances. Gonzaga, making its first-ever Final Four and championship game appearance, was led by Nigel Williams-Goss and dominant big man Zach Collins but fell just short. The season also saw Kansas’s Frank Mason III win National Player of the Year, while Duke and Kentucky remained contenders despite early tournament exits. South Carolina made a stunning Cinderella run to the Final Four, marking the program’s deepest tournament run in history. With UNC’s redemption arc and Gonzaga’s breakthrough, the season was filled with drama, emotion, and memorable moments.
