Both teams slugged away at each other, but North Carolina finally silenced the Cats and a home crowd in the final minutes.
Man. It was right there. The Kansas State Wildcats (4-1) Played arguably their best game of the season considering the circumstances, and gave Roy Williams and the North Carolina Tar Heels (4-1) everything they could handle before succumbing to the #9 team in the country, 80-70 in the championship game in the CBE Hall of Fame Classic at the Sprint Center in Kansas City. Looking at the final score does NOT give you an indication of the final of the game, as 5-6 points were given up in fouls toward the end in an effort to get the ball back.
