The North Carolina Tar Heels and Kansas Jayhawks will clash for the NCAA Championship Monday night. These two historical programs are meeting in the title game for the first time since 1957.
These two blue-blood programs have championship pedigree and are seeking to add another title to their respective trophy cases. The Tar Heels are playing for their seventh national championship, while Kansas is going for a fourth title.
North Carolina punched their ticket to the championship game with a win over their bitter rival the Duke Blue Devils 81-77 Saturday night in a Final Four instant-classic. The matchup between the Blue Devils and Tar Heels was their first meeting in the NCAA Tournament in 258 all-time games played.

The 2019-20 Jayhawks may have been Self's best team, but they never got a chance to prove it when the pandemic wiped out the NCAA Tournament.
