North Carolina defeated Gonzaga in the NCAA Men's National Championship game in Phoenix, Arizona on Monday night.
The Tarheels might have won the game, and with it their sixth national championship in school history, but the real winner was the Internet who won't have to suffer through the endless "Michael Jordan Cry Face," memes this year.
Despite the lack of weeping Jordan images, there was plenty of jokes, memes and GIFS that made the game more enjoyable, including an on-screen appearance from Gonzaga alum, Adam Morrison, who was sporting a tank top and a farmer's tan.
Here are the best memes:
