For the first time since December 17th, 1960, the North Carolina Tar Heels will face off against the Kansas Jayhawks in Allen Fieldhouse. There’s a lot going on with this matchup when it comes to how many times these two teams have squared off, what has been at stake, and the number of championships between the two teams. The most important detail, however, is that Kansas enters this game as the best team in the country, and the Heels hope to spoil their fun in one of the most difficult road environments in college basketball.
The main guy to keep an eye on for the Jayhawks in this one is Hunter Dickinson, who despite having faced off against the Heels many times at this point, has never faced them without Armando Bacot being on the roster.
