UPDATE: 8:13 p.m. (CT) Kansas leads 91-89 with 1:06 left in 2nd half It remains a close one down the stretch, but Kansas has taken the lead back. The Jayhawks are up 91-89 with a little more than a minute left in the second half. Hunter Dickinson gave Kansas this lead with a bucket on an assist from Zeke Mayo, who leads all scorers with 21 points. UPDATE: 8:04 p.m. (CT): UNC leads 86-83 with 3:30 left in 2nd half It's by no means time to panic for Kansas, but the Jayhawks are trailing with three and a half minutes left in the second half. UNC has out-scored Kansas by 18 points in the second half. Something that should be a cause for concern, though, is two Kansas starters who are in foul trouble. Both Hunter Dickinson and Dajuan Harris Jr. will have to play the rest of the way with four fouls. UPDATE: 7:49 p.m. (CT): Kansas leads 77-75 with 8:49 left in 2nd half UNC is on a 9-0 run over the last minute-plus, and now trails by just two points. So far, North Carolina is 25-for-27 tonight from the free-throw line. Kansas, on the other hand, is just 7-for-11 in that regard. UPDATE 7:37 p.m. (CT): Kansas leads 72-63 with 11:46 left in 2nd half Kansas has started to find its form again, and still leads by nine points with a little under 12 minutes to go in regulation. The Jayhawks have seen Zeke Mayo shine here of late, and his latest jumper pushed him to 17 points. That leads both Kansas and all scorers so far tonight. UPDATE: 7:26 p.m. (CT): Kansas leads 57-48 with 15:58 left in 2nd half North Carolina has started the second half just as well as it started out the first, and trail by just nine points now. The Jayhawks are really struggling to hit shots. Kansas has also been lucky that, coming into this break in the action, that UNC has missed a couple of open 3s. One statistic to keep an eye on is points off of turnovers. So far, Kansas has 10 points off of seven North Carolina turnovers. UNC has no points off of three Jayhawks turnovers. UPDATE: 7:02 p.m. (CT): HALFTIME: Kansas 53, UNC 38 UPDATE: 6:46 p.m. (CT): Kansas leads 43-29 with 3:55 left in 1st half Kansas has had to manage Hunter Dickinson having a pair of first half fouls, but it hasn't hurt them much at all. The Jayhawks are up 14 points with less than four minutes left in the first half. When Flory Bidunga came in for some more minutes in Dickinson's place, overall Bidunga played well. Zeke Mayo's hit a pair of 3s that have really gotten him, and the crowd, going. Rylan Griffen recently made one heck of a block defending a UNC shot. Fans have had plenty to cheer about here during the first half. UPDATE: 6:22 p.m. (CT): Kansas leads 27-20 with 11:02 left in 1st half Kansas is in control now, and has its largest lead at seven points. The Jayhawks have been able to get inside often against UNC, and have their fair share of dunks so far. KJ Adams Jr. and AJ Storr have both sent the fans inside Allen Fieldhouse into a frenzy. Adams leads all scorers with 10 points. He's 5-for-6 from the field. He, and his Kansas teammates overall, have been very efficient on offense. UPDATE: 6:10 p.m. (CT): UNC leads 9-7 with 15:55 left in 1st half UNC got off to a fast start, and led by as much as 7-2, but the Jayhawks have responded. A little more than four minutes into the first half, Kansas trails 9-7. RJ Davis leads North Carolina with five points. On the Kansas side, KJ Adams Jr. leads the way with four points. Rylan Griffen hit a critical 3-pointer. Hunter Dickinson has missed both of his shots from the field so far. Pregame
