Meeting again for a rematch of the 1957 NCAA title, Kansas overcame a 15-point first-half deficit against North Carolina to claim the “Roy Williams Bowl.” GoldieOnSports has you covered with takeaways.👇
No two schools have met each other in the Final Four more times than the two competing in the national title game.
Ochai Agbaji, Kansas’ largest scoring threat in the half, was heavily guarded by Rechon “Leaky” Black, who allowed him only eight points in the half, and while David McCormack tipped in another six points, the Jayhawks were 10-of-33 from the floor shooting just 30 percent. Paired with their stellar defence that put immense pressure on Kansas, UNC turned the game around and picked up momentum that was too much for the Jayhawks to stop before going into the break.
The other big man also made history becoming just the second player to hit three triples in all six games of the NCAA tournament. An and-one for Agbaji tied the game 50-50 with just over 10 minutes to play in the game, as both Jalen Wilson and Christian Braun stepped up for the Jayhawks in scoring while the Tar Heels started to miss shots on every play while Kansas started to fight for boards.
With 1:41 to play in the game, a match that seemed so lopsided for each team at different points became a one-point lead as the Jayhawks trailed 69-68.
