Kansas chose sportsmanship over advantage after UNC’s Armando Bacot was injured late
North Carolina Tar Heels and Kansas Jayhawks
In the NCAA championship game between the Kansas Jayhawks and the North Carolina Tar Heels, Kansas trailed North Carolina by 40-25 and pulled off an incredible comeback. This was, however, not the highlight of the game, North Carolina’s star Armando Bacot got injured, but the game didn’t stop, and Kansas Jayhawks chose to show some sportsmanship.
North Carolina’s star player Armando Bacot had a huge setback when Bacot injured his ankle in the semi-finals against the Duke Blue Devils on Saturday night. He had a question mark hanging over his head ahead of the selection in the finals against the Kansas Jayhawks, despite the setback was on the floor to help his team and managed to pull off a game-high of 15-points and 15 rebounds.

Kansas Jayhawks was in the lead when North Carolina star Armando Bacot re-injured his ankle, the same ankle he injured in the semi-finals against the Dukes, and when he got injured he gave away the ball, Jayhawks recovered the ball and headed towards their opponent’s defense, but what was surprising was that Jayhawks slowed down their attack only for Bacot to get back. Bacot when he came back to his half, the referees blew the whistle after seeing Bacot walk gingerly and in pain. Great sportsmanship from the side from Kansas.
