- Kansas erase 16-point deficit to win 72-69 over No 8 Tar Heels
- Jayhawks win fourth ever national title (1952, 1988, 2008, 2022)
Kansas brought their fourth NCAA title back home Monday thanks to a second-half flurry that erased a 16-point deficit and eventually overcame North Carolina 72-69 in an epic battle of power programs.
David McCormack scored the go-ahead bucket from close range with 1:21 left, then another at the 22-second mark to put the Jayhawks ahead by three. North Carolina missed their final four shots, including Caleb Love’s desperation three at the buzzer. His heave barely grazed rim after officials ruled that Kansas guard DaJuan Harris Jr, stepped out on an inbounds pass with 4.3 seconds left.
