Kansas finished off the biggest comeback in national championship history Monday night with a 72-69 victory over North Carolina in the Superdome.
What looked like a lost cause turned into one of the sweetest wins ever for Kansas.
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. After McCormick’s go-ahead bucket, Love drove to the basket but his shot got blocked. North Carolina grabbed an offensive rebound and got the ball to Armando Bacot under the bucket. But he lost his footing and turned it over, then limped off the court, unable to return.That put Brady Manek, not as good a defender, on McCormack, and the Kansas big man backed in Manek for the shot that put the Jayhawks ahead by three.
The Jayhawks went on a 31-10 run to take a six-point lead at the 10-minute mark and set up a fantastic finish.Basketball fans descended on Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on April 2, for the Final Four of the NCAA tournament.
