Moments like what we saw on Monday night are exactly what makes college basketball so great.
The top-seeded Kansas Jayhawks went into the locker rooms trailing North Carolina by 15 points at halftime, and they responded with one of the most remarkable turnarounds you’ll see in a championship game. Kansas outscored UNC by 18 points in the second half en route to the biggest comeback in men’s NCAA Championship history.
Obviously, any championship is a huge accomplishment. But for Kansas’ Ochai Agbaji — an under-recruited four-year player who blossomed into a star — the championship was extra special. We saw that genuine emotion after the game when he caught up with his parents, Olofu and Erica, and his sister, Orie.
