The Jayhawks are the winners of the 2022 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament after coming back from down 16 to defeat the Tar Heels in the national championship game.

After an Agbaji free throw tied the game at 50 apiece, a Remy Martin corner triple gave the Jayhawks the lead with 10 minutes to play. North Carolina had been outscored 31-10 since halftime.

Both teams kept going back and forth for the rest of the quarter. Kansas led 70-69 with 38 seconds left when Bacot went down with an ankle injury, temporarily pausing the game. The Jayhawks immediately went to David McCormack down low, who took advantage with a bucket. North Carolina pushed the ball down the floor quickly but hoisted tough shots that didn’t fall, but Dajuan Harris Jr. stepped out of bounds on the ensuing inbounds play, giving UNC one more possession with 4.3 seconds left.

Caleb Love’s shot to send the game to overtime did not touch the rim, so the Jayhawks completed the largest comeback in championship game history.
