The Kansas Jayhawks took home the 2022 national championship on Monday vs. North Carolina in a 72-69 win. Down 15 points at halftime, head coach Bill Self’s squad outscored UNC 47-29 in the second half to help capture his second title. Self gave the ultimate respect to his team during postgame for uplifting him throughout the last few months after the passing of his father, Bill Self Sr., back in January.
