Despite trailing 40-12 late in the first half, the Tar Heels mounted a comeback to move them within five points with nine minutes left. North Carolina’s valiant effort was not enough though, as Kansas quickly overpowered the Tar Heels on their way to a 84-66 victory. The win propelled the Jayhawks to a spot in the National Championship, where they took on the Memphis Tigers in an OT thriller.

I remember working at a hotel where relatives of the UNC players were staying.They were rude snobby shitballs who thought their precious High Heels were gonna win.LOL.After this a lot of our North Carolina guests looked like their world was ending and I loved every second of it.Hit the road jack…
Yeah this was a great game.. Remember watching this baby! #RCJH
This loss created a monster in 09 that put a hurting on any team that stood in their way .
I was never a Billy Packer fan when he was calling games for CBS and that infamous "This game is over" with 7:32 go in the first half when Kansas was up big on North Carolina although the Tar Heels managed to come back and got within 6 middle of the 2nd half but Packer deserved to be let go after that Kansas-Memphis title game because he's said stuff on the air before that was very controversial like his racist remarks about Allen Iverson or his feud with Phil Martelli or about Duke University. I am so glad that guy is no longer with CBS.
At 1030 they are just tired.
I which KU'S defense was as good now as it was back then
This loss produced the 2009 Nat'l Champion UNC Tar Heels
This game LOADED with Draft picks
40-12 Kansas, a 38-14 run by UNC, then a 30-16 run by Kansas to end the game. Three games in one.
I remember watching this game back in 08 and saying to Carolina fans that Kansas is going to win this kansas were more deeper at guard they were for deeper in the power forward and Center positions and North Carolina relied on Main one scorer and it was Tyler Hansbrough. Also Kansas was a much better defensive team than North Carolina especially contesting passes Steals etc
Tyler hansborough Danny green Wayne Ellington ty Lawson Deon Thompson Marcus Ginyard bobby frasor will graves vs mario Chalmers Brandon rush Darrel Arthur Cole Aldrich Darnell jackson sharon collins sasha kaun and Robinson ..nice 12 legit nba players …
Mario Chalmers would go on to beat both Tyler in the east finals and Danny green again in 2013 in do or die 1 game scenarios game 7 elimination games for his 2nd nba title Ironically vs San Antonio in the finals …where they played this final four …
I remember watching this game and would have been shocked to be informed at the time that the best pro career out of both rosters would be had by Danny Green.
This game…..is OVA- Billy Packer๐๐๐๐
Skipped ahead a little and it was 40 to 16 kanas
22:26
Collins got away with 2 charges in 5 seconds at the end of the half,ย that's hard to do.
I miss this team.
I miss this team.
This game was more about how UNC didn't show up. Not saying Kansas wasn't better but you have to be stupid to believe Kansas was that much better than unc. I honestly think if they had played again UNC would have won
thankfully, this game was the end of billy packer – and good riddance
And had KU not Stopped playing from the beginning of the 2nd half to mid point of the 2nd half, this could have been much worse.
love of Kansas y'all peeps
