No, YOU'RE crying.
Moments like what we saw on Monday night are exactly what makes college basketball so great.
The top-seeded Kansas Jayhawks went into the locker rooms trailing North Carolina by 15 points at halftime, and they responded with one of the most remarkable turnarounds you’ll see in a championship game. Kansas outscored UNC by 18 points in the second half en route to the biggest comeback in men’s NCAA Championship history.
Obviously, any championship is a huge accomplishment. But for Kansas’ Ochai Agbaji — an under-recruited four-year player who blossomed into a star — the championship was extra special. We saw that genuine emotion after the game when he caught up with his parents, Olofu and Erica, and his sister, Orie.
We can hear as Ochai’s father shouts, “You’re a champion! Job well done!” And Agbaji couldn’t hold back the tears.
In his final game with Kansas, Agbaji scored 12 points and was named the Final Four’s most outstanding player. What a way to go out.
