For Kansas’ national title, Dick Vitale had the perfect tweet
“A tip of the hat to @KUHoops for a gutty comeback (15 down at half)to win the 2022 @MarchMadnessMBB NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP over an outstanding @UNC_Basketball five . Yes Lawrence , Kansas is party town USA BABY !”
But Vitale didn’t stop there when it came to his take on the comeback. He explained it to his family at home.
“@KUHoops completed the greatest comeback in the history of a National Championship due to CHRISTIAN BRAUN scoring in a 30-10 run after half to give them the lead. Than REMY MARTIN came up big with 2 3’s when @UNC_Basketball regrouped. Finally DAVID McCORMACK with 2 fab plays .”

Kansas began the game with a 9-0 lead, but by the end of the first half, they had dug themselves a big hole. After going several minutes without scoring, they trailed North Carolina 40-25 at halftime.
They came back in the second half, chipping away at the Tar Heels’ lead until a Remy Martin three-pointer with 10 minutes left gave them the lead.
They hung on to that lead until Brady Manek sank a shot with 1:41 left to put them up 69-68. In the end, the Jayhawks came back and scored the last four points of the game to win 72-69.
