North Carolina Vs. Kansas, 2012 NCAA Tournament: Jayhawks, Tar Heels At Breakneck Pace

Like defense? You might want to avert your eyes from the Elite Eight clash between North Carolina and Kansas. But everyone else will enjoy the offensive showcase the Tar Heels and Jayhawks are putting on. After a bit more than eight minutes, Kansas has a 23-21 edge.

Thomas Robinson has six points for Kansas, Jeff Withey's added five, and Tyshawn Taylor four. The Jayhawks have made eight of their 12 shots.

But North Carolina's even hotter from the field (11-of-13!) and has been unable to take control of the game. James Michael McAdoo's six points off the bench have sparked the Tar Heels.
