Kansas capped off an impressive NCAA tournament with a historic come-from-behind victory against UNC in the national championship game on Monday.
The No. 1 Jayhawks stormed back from a 15-point halftime deficit, to knock off the No. 8 Tar Heels, 72–69. After trailing by 16 points in the first half, Bill Self’s program managed to climb back into the game and complete the largest comeback in championship game history.
Kansas outscored UNC 47–29 in the second half, flipping the script after a rocky opening 20 minutes. Senior guard Remy Martin gave the Jayhawks a huge lift off the bench, making four three’s and scoring 14 points, to be one of the team’s five different players to score in double-digits.
