Jared Jacobs used Legos and stop-motion animation to recreate Kris Jenkins’ incredible buzzer-beating 3-pointer that lifted Villanova to a 77-74 win over North Carolina in the 2016 championship game at NRG Stadium.

Here’s the actual play if you need a reminder:
The Lego video was a birthday present dedicated to his oldest daughter, Jovie, who correctly picked Villanova to win the tournament last year.
“My oldest daughter was born right at the beginning of March Madness. I remember watching non-stop basketball in the hospital and the first few days of bringing her home. Maybe that’s part of the reason her and I have shared a special bond when it comes to the NCAA Tournament. Last year she picked @novambb to win the whole thing and I picked @unc_basketball I’ll never forget watching her reaction to the final 10 seconds of that game. This year for her birthday I wanted to do something special for it. So I told her I was going to make a Lego re-enactment video dedicated to her. Happy Birthday Jovie! I hope this year is as magical as last year.”
Jacobs also shared a time-lapse video showing exactly how he created the labor of love.
