North Carolina was tested early this season as they went on the road to face off against No. 1 Kansas in Allen Fieldhouse. It’s one of the toughest places to play in all of college basketball and an environment that can rattle opponents.
For the first half, it rattled North Carolina a bit.
The Tar Heels fell behind by 20 before rallying in the second half and eventually taking the lead. But North Carolina couldn’t hold late and fell 92-89 after Elliot Cadeau’s potential game-tying three-pointer fell short.
It’s a tough loss for the Tar Heels but one they can learn from. This will help test this team for the upcoming season which includes some tough games against Alabama, Florida, and UCLA, plus the Maui Invitational.
Let’s see some photos from the Top 10 showdown in Kansas.
