Kansas has roared back here to start the second half after they trailed by 15 at halftime and Coach Bill Self was getting criticized on social media for not making any adjustments.
The Jayhawks got off to a 20-8 run to start the half but still trail, 48-47. Christian Braun has been a spark with 10 of his 12 points in the second half while keying the transition attack. Braun is suddenly the focal point of the Kansas offense. Who would’ve thought?
There appeared to be three teams competing in the national championship game’s first half: The North Carolina Tar Heels, the Kansas Jayhawks in the opening minutes of the game, and the Kansas Jayhawks in the closing minutes of the half.
