The Kansas Jayhawks overcame a 15-point halftime deficit to win the program’s fourth NCAA title in men’s basketball late on Monday night in New Orleans. It was the biggest comeback in a title game, and the Jayhawks used a 47-point second half performance to take down North Carolina, 72-69.
After the final horn sounded and the confetti fell, the Kansas players and coaches gathered to receive their hard-earned trophy from NCAA president Mark Emmert. When presenting the goods, Emmert made one huge mistake.
“The Kansas City Jayhawks…the University of Kansas.”
