There are plenty of fans and gamblers who will be watching closely as Villanova and North Carolina contest the 2016 National Championship, but there will be no viewer more nervous than the mother of Villanova's Kris Jenkins and UNC's Nate Britt.

Yes, as in this mom has a son on each of the National Championship finalist teams. Not to worry, though, because it appears Melody has all her bases covered for tonight's big game.

The woman with the two-sided shirt in the above picture appears to be Melody's sister, Shannon, but that is the shirt Jenkins and Britt's mother is reportedly wearing during the National Championship at NRG Stadium in Houston.

According to reports, Kris Jenkins and Nate Britt met when they were 10 years old and became friends on and off the basketball court. After Jenkins' parents reportedly agreed to transfer custody to the Britt family, Kris and Nate became brothers in the eyes of the law.

Best of luck tonight, Melody.
