North Carolina basketball head coach Hubert Davis said that he was extremely proud of the Tar Heels response after beating Kansas.

Sophomore big man Bidunga, 6-9, 220 pounds and a former McDonald's All-American, had long been considered a lock to start all season. He has averaged 14.3 points and 7.0 rebounds a game. He's started three games and played 26.6 minutes per outing, second most on the team behind starter Melvin Council Jr. (27.5 mpg).

No. 25 Kansas got back into the win column on Tuesday night, and there were some encouraging signs from the victory.
