Some people has called this the ‘Roy Williams Bowl’, as the retired college basketball coach have been employed by both schools to lead their Men’s Basketball Programs.

This Year's Kansas Jayhawks now owns the largest comeback in NCAA National Championship History.

Final Thoughts:
A fabulous game by both Blue Bloods. Tar Heels had a 16-point lead in the 1st Half. Tar Heels ended the 1st Half, with an 18-3 run. 

But Jayhawks started the 2nd Half with a 20-6 run. It was a see-saw game until Puff Johnson had the wind knocked out of him and the final blow when Armando Bacot rolled his bad ankle. 
 
And Self and Company went to David McCormack against Brady Manek to extend the lead to 3. And then, Manek made a bad pass. And he was not in the final play, due to him losing his footing. In that final play, Caleb Love misses the 3-point FG. And Kansas Jayhawks win their 4th National Championship. 

This was a team game by both teams. But it was David McCormack (With help Christian Braun and Remy Martin) who led the Jayhawks to this historic victory for the Lawrence, Kansas Big XII University. 

It is the 2nd year in a row, where the Big XII is the home of the National Champion, in Division I Men's Basketball.
