Kansas vs. North Carolina final score

BASKETBALL Kansas vs. North Carolina final score, result: Jayhawks win fourth national championship behind record comeback, Kansas won its fourth NCAA men's basketball national championship Monday night, securing a 72-69 comeback win over North Carolina in New Orleans.
The victory was very different from Kansas' Final Four matchup against Villanova, which was a wire-to-wire win. Kansas went into the half down 40-25 and then stormed back to outscore North Carolina by 18 points in the second half. The 15-point comeback is the biggest in championship history.
Timely baskets by Remy Martin and David McCormack helped to power the Jayhawks' rally against a Tar Heels team that was hobbled in the second half. Christian Braun was a driving force in the comeback as well.
UNC's Caleb Love and Armando Bacot were playing on bad ankles for a good portion of the game. Bacot further injured his ankle down the stretch on a drive and was pulled after limping back down the floor. Ultimately, North Carolina couldn't keep up with Kansas' increased pace in the second half. The Jayhawks' running also helped to slow down North Carolina on the glass.
