Shaky to sensational: Kyan Evans sparks UNC’s second-half surge past Kansas

Posted Nov 8, 2025
In the first half of No. 25 UNC’s 87-74 victory Friday over No. 19 Kansas at the Smith Center, Kyan Evans looked out of rhythm. The Jayhawks made a concerted effort to get the basketball out of his hands, and he struggled to respond. It took only a couple of minutes of the second half for his fortunes to flip, and he was a catalyst in the Tar Heels’ 27-9 run. (Tar Heel Tribune)
