Top seeded Kansas defeated North Carolina in a 72-69 nail-biter to claim the NCAA championship on Monday night. The Jayhawks overcame an 18-point halftime deficit, and then a last-second turnover that gave the Tar Heels a last chance to tie the game, to claim their fourth championship, and first since 2008, in the biggest comeback ever in a championship game.
