The Great Kansas Comeback is about more than just one scintillating, stifling 20-minute stretch of Jayhawks basketball.
The championship KU captured Monday night had roots back in 2020, when the Jayhawks were a team that looked headed for the program’s fourth national title.
Instead, it was KU’s come-from-behind 72-69 victory over North Carolina on Monday in New Orleans that brought that fourth championship banner back to Allen Fieldhouse.Bill Self won his elusive second national title with a masterful second-half coaching job and a spicy dash of Remy Martin. Kansas tightened up defensively to rev up its transition game and Martin provided the spark in a dazzling second half. The Jayhawks started fast and faded even faster to fall into a 15-point hole by halftime.
They roared back behind Self’s adjustments, setting a record for biggest comeback in championship game history.
