Here is what I wrote in another thread: UNC was routed because it was not tested during the early rounds of the tournament. It was given an unfair advantage by the NCAA, since it played four home games. UNC also faced inferior competition, save for Louisville, which would have defeated them if the game was played in a neutral court. I knew that UNC would be in trouble in a neutral court, because the ACC teams which beat them (UMD, Duke) or came close to do it three times (Clemson) got dismantled by Big East teams. Furthermore, UNC is always at a disadvantage with athletic and physical teams (e.g. Hoyas in 2007). I therefore expected Kansas to handle them easily. In short, UNC was an overrated team, playing in an overrated conference. Kansas played a great game and exposed UNC for the fraud that it is.
