The Rivalry
The game is set for 7 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 29 at the Smith Center in Chapel Hill, N.C. This will be the first meeting between the two programs since 2012, and just the third since 2005.
A brief history of the rivalry
Kansas and North Carolina have been two of the most successful college basketball programs of all time. They have a combined 33 Final Four appearances and 11 national championships. The two schools have also produced some of the greatest players in the history of the sport, including Michael Jordan, Wilt Chamberlain, and James Worthy.
The rivalry between Kansas and North Carolina began in the early 1950s, when legendary coaches Phog Allen and Frank McGuire began recruiting some of the same top prospects. The two coaches quickly built up their respective programs into national powers, and their rivalry came to a head in 1957, when they met in the NCAA championship game. That game, which North Carolina won 54-53 in triple overtime, is considered one of the greatest games in college basketball history.
The rivalry was reignited in the 1980s when Kansas coach Larry Brown and North Carolina coach Dean Smith faced off in a series of epic battles. The two coaches met in four straight NCAA tournament games from 1986 to 1989, with each team winning two games. Their final meeting came in the 1991 Final Four, when North Carolina defeated Kansas 77-71 en route to winning the national championship.
Since then, the rivalry has cooled off somewhat, as both teams have had periods of domination. However, the two programs are once again on the rise, and there is a good chance that we will see them face off in another big game in the near future.
