What a great example of high quality, high intensity college basketball from 2 great programs. Home court energy was the only edge in a razor close matchup
What a game. I'm disappointed at the loss, but I'm not going to complain against a close game at the most hostile environment in college basketball. GGs to Kansas, y'all are legit. College basketball is OFFICIALLY back, ladies and gentlemen.
If we could just keep the ball outta Withers hands down the stretch. He blanks EVERYTIME trying to hit a game winner. He doesn't learn either. He just keeps shooting and missing.
Hats off to my Tar Heels for almost taking down the number 1 team in the nation coach you have to call a time out and draw up something at a crucial time like that but on the other hand that Kansas team looks scary!!!
I've been to many games at AFH. I've seen many more on TV. A point that doesn't usually get noticed or mentioned is that this Mecca of college basketball VERY often brings out the best in the visiting team too. It's a special, magical place. But if you look back at the stats, I think you'll find that there is almost always a visiting player or two who have career nights. It makes for great basketball games. This one was no exception. Both teams can be proud of their performances tonight. The guards for UNC were fantastic and to shoot 28-31 from the line is incredible. Officiating was mediocre at best, but didn't favor either team from my perspective. Some bad calls went both ways. Free throw disparity is often argued as a factor, but the game was called evenly. UNC was driving on most of their possessions. Driving draws fouls. KU didn't drive much and therefore DIDN'T draw as many fouls. Buckle up, college basketball fans! It's gonna be a great ride. Rock Chalk and mad respect to the Tar Heels.
@@somethingAPIS Indeed! Two classics there. Wish I could have seen the multi-OT thriller with Buddy and the Sooners live, but it was exciting enough on TV. Where else but AFH does an opposing player get a standing ovation from the home fans.
Just remember UConn came here last year and lost too. Then went on to complete one of the more dominant runs in March we've ever seen. Both of these teams are good enough to win it all this year.
@@Licit_x64 well yea I didn't watch the game only highlights I only saw him miss that 1 three down the stretch. The other was J Washington I noticed. He actually did well it appears.
Yeah, this was a good game for both teams. No way either team was gonna sleep walk through competition like this. The players were focused and well coached. Great teams but it’s too early to know which team’s ceiling is higher. Definitely could see a rematch, hopefully later on in the tournament.
This game reminded me a lot of the title game from a couple years ago. One team went on a run the latter part of the 1st half, the other team made a big comeback the first half of the 2nd half, then they kind of played even the rest of the way with KU just making the plays down the stretch.
Rock Chalk! UNC is scary. They definitely have the best backcourt in hoops. I only remember 2003 Arizona coming back from 20 in Allen Fieldhouse. The heels play selflessly, fast, and fearlessly. Great game! My Hawks were fortunate to win!
And that was with Cade tyson, drake Powell, and Tyzaun Claude not really contributing. In a couple months when those 3 guys are comfortable Unc will be super good.
Looks like bill found some aggressive players who know how to get a bucket. And some 3 point shooting. Clean up the defense by conference play and this is will be a great team.
GooD Game Kansas! My HeeLs Will Get em next time!!! Its Always ah hard fought game versus them!!!! Helluva effort 4 my Tar heels as well! We Tough, Fast, Gritty and athletic! Look Forward to watch this year's team become Special!!!! Let's Gooooooo #UNC!!!!
Had a chance to win it. Washington shouldn't be taking the last shot but, unc is going be tough once they hammer out that rotation. Lots of talent on that bench
Ian Jackson is looking good. He has a smooth play style and jumper, along with good coordination and passing. His defense needs some work, but I believe he just needs to gain Chemistry with the team to become truly worth his 1st round draft pick
Great effort, and GREAT poise. UNC may have the best trio of guards in the country. Actually, it's a fact. My Jayhawks were fortunate to come away with a win.
UNC is really really good when they are in sync. That 2nd half defense put the clamps on the Jayhawks for all but the last 5 minutes of the half. They just got gassed and you can see it in their shot selections and shot execution. NO REASON, NONE, for The Tar Heels to hang their heads. This Team is only gonna get better throughout the year. I'm more concerned with KU giving up such a huge lead, than I am North Carolina letting them build it. UNC is mature, but are rolling out inexperienced starters but they are extremely talented and Hubert Davis will have this team firing on all cylinders sooner than later. Also, Hats off to Kansas for regaining their composure after relinquishing that huge 1st half lead, I mean it flexed to over 20+ points on a few occasions. Dickinson and Mayo may be one of the Best G/F Duos in the country, but UNC has there's too. Washington was looking good tonight, Withers can be a Sniper if he gets Hot, Davis is a workhorse, but Trimble is he can continue to elevate his game, UNC will make a good run in the This Year. Kansas looks every bit the the #1 team, aside from blowing the lead (again to a team they played lights out in the second half). Kansas looks like the real deal....
UNC got 31 free throws to KU's 17, and they made 28 of them to KU's 12. That's a big disparity especially for a visiting team in both free throws attempted and made. That's not the only reason for the comeback but it certainly had something to do with it. Both teams showed some poise and toughness to not let the game get out of hand. A lot of teams would've folded falling behind by 20 points in the first half, but UNC fought back. And a lot of teams would've folded giving up a 20-point lead, but KU fought back and executed down the stretch to pull out the win. This is one of those games that will make both teams better in the long run.
What I learned from this game…we will not have a lot of bad 3 pt % per game!!! We (UNC) came up short on a big man!! This will determine our Championship aspirations!!!
Kansas experience was what won them the game. But Carolina looks the best they have in years. They have some real depth and if this roster stays and matures together they will make a championship run.
1:53 Hunter looking like a young David McCormick. Especially when that’s the same exact shot David had that gave Kansas the win in the natty a few years ago. AGAINST NC TOO 😂 NC hates them hook shots 😂😂😂💀
I honestly don't get why we (KU) always crush NC in the first half and then remarkably let them have these huge comebacks! So frustrating, but, a win is a win.
I think he felt the UNC player was behind him and he was worried about getting chased down and blocked if he went for the layup. Additionally, he is a Senior leader of the team, and probably felt that with the lead slipping away the team needed a jolt to wake them back up. He also should've gotten a clean steal on the next UNC possession, but the refs called a foul instead.
UNCs biggest problem IS rj davis..... He is trying to break unc all time scoring record and thats not good for the team .....guards who do most of the shooting arent gonna beat teams who shoots closer to the basket..thats just the basic fundamentals of basketball.....the closer you are to the goal ,the higher shooting %.....unc will have a couple of hot games where everything is going right and they look unbeatable , but it wont go far in the tournament against kansas and uconn and duke , etc who is balanced and has more points in the paint ....
It’s early, if I know Kansas basketball we tend to start falling off by march, if we can play like this all year and during march I definitely see a final four at least but we gotta be consistent
31 free throw attempts lmfao be forreal. What was that reffing in the 2H?! Nothing but soft calls let them Play a little that was ridiculous, UNC should’ve never came back
Gotta give it to Carolina for that monster comeback.
great game bro🤞

Thank you for having us! Wish your team the best of luck

Kansas, Kentucky, UNC, and Duke should play a round robin every season. Call it the Blue Blood League. Make a trophy even.
Yea that would be cool asf
Kentucky is going down hill they haven’t been good as we thought they should have the last few seasons

Definitely that’s who we all want to see when season starts

It hasn't been a very long year yet. Great game though.
Super young Carolina team weathered the storm and came back. This is what we call a “healthy loss”. Gonna be a fun season! 🐑 GDTBATH

Obviously wish unc woulda pulled it out, but it was a fun game to watch. Blue bloods delivered top tier ball game .
Carolina fought to the End, Helluva Game by 2 of the Top College Basketball Teams in the Country
GG KU...tough loss for UNC, but they learned a good bit about themselves in a hostile environment on the road against the early #1 team.
For the second time tar heels....what a comeback
Tar Heels got my respect… even thought they didn’t win, that was still a great comeback

Even tho my heels lost that game, they fight was still there they didn't lay down. Good game!
Almost choked away that large lead, but fortunate to get a win. Great effort by UNC to come back.
We fought hard
Kansas fans are much better mannered than Duke fans. I appreciate that.
That fails to give credit to UNC. This college game with top teams is always a game of runs, but what matters is the last few minutes.
Poor KJ Adams looks hurt, I'm surprised Bill kept him in for so long, he was lagging. Hope he's ok
What a game!!
Good game UNC!!! You showed to be a tough team….
Kansas looks legit this year! What a game this was
They are my pick to win it all. They have the talent well balanced and have the experience which was missing in prior years.
Congrats to Bill self on his accomplishments👏🏽
Great game Tar Heels hold your head high on that one ❤
Hunter has been playing for 6 years an he better enjoy getting paid now. Just the biggest guy on the court.
He's decent but like said, I don't think he's amazing. Just a big body

Heels drives the ball to the bucket more and picks up more fouls like that. If Kansas did the same they would get more calls.

Close and a great learning experience for the Heels. Will pay off in March!
Kansas experience was what won them the game. But Carolina looks the best they have in years. They have some real depth and if this roster stays and matures together they will make a championship run.
Kansas is stacked this year. They have experience and are balancdd in the front and back court. They are my pick to win it all.
In a couple months when UNC is at there best do you think they would be better than last year? I personally think they will.
Great comeback by my Tar Heels...had the lead 😢...i neef to see Capt Jack get more minutes
Great finish ❤
Wow! Nice work!
Good! Rock chalk Jayhawks!
Carolina showed that they have no quit in them.
At how loaded Kansas is with the transfers and experience, def was a tough game for unc
UCONN lost last year at Kansas and UCONN was significantly better than Kansa. I think UNC will be just fine..
shooting 20 more fts than your opponent and losing the game is wild😂
