North Carolina vs. Kansas Men: How to watch, TV channel, streaming, start time, predicted lineups and stats
Rusty Gorelick
One of the first marquee matchups of the 2024/25 Men's College Basketball season features the No. 9 North Carolina Tar Heels visiting the No. 1 Kansas Jayhawks.
The first game of the season between two top-10 teams - No. 8 Baylor vs. No. 6 Gonzaga - was not nearly as close as many fans hoped, with Gonzaga winning 101-63. Both the Jayhawks and Tar Heels have a win by a big margin on their respective resumes, meaning they should have less rust for this game.
Kansas is entering this matchup after beating Howard 87-57, while North Carolina beat Elon 90-76. Both teams entered the season among the eight teams with odds shorter than 20/1 to win the National Championship.
