The third edition of the Roy Bowl is going down on Sunday. Put another way, Roy Williams' current team will face Williams' former program.

No. 1 Kansas will take on No. 8 North Carolina at 5:15 p.m. ET on Sunday. Since decamping for Chapel Hill in 2003, Williams, who was the head coach at Kansas for 15 years, is 0-2 against the Jayhawks, with both losses coming in the NCAA Tournament.

Williams earned his 700th career win as the No. 8 UNC held off Villanova in the second round. Meanwhile, Kansas survived a scare against No. 16 Western Kentucky.
