North Carolina’s basketball season ended Monday night, with the Tar Heels falling to Kansas, 72-69, in the national championship game.

UNC led by 15 points at halftime, but a 31-10 Jayhawks’ run to open the second half put them in position to get the victory, as they outlasted the gritty Tar Heels.

The Tar Heels finished the season 29-10.
