In a game that was never in doubt, the North Carolina Tar Heels romped over the Michigan State Spartans 89-72, to win the NCAA national championship.
According to Yahoo: “This is the best way to go out. I couldn’t picture it any other way,” Hansbrough said, choking up, a few minutes after he rushed to grab that first hot-off-the-iron T-shirt. He scored 18 points, Wayne Ellington had 19 and Ty Lawson finished with 21 points and a record eight steals. Now, they and Danny Green can all head to the NBA feeling good about their decision to return to school. They’re bringing home Carolina’s fifth championship, and the second for coach Roy Williams. Hansbrough, the player of the year last season, never thought twice about returning for his senior year. Ellington, Lawson and Danny Green tested the NBA waters but didn’t like what they found. They all came back, none of them wanting their college careers to end on the dud of a game in last year’s Final Four when they found themselves down 40-12 to Kansas and even Billy Packer was telling the folks it was over.”
The Heels were preseason favorites to win it all, and they didn’t disappoint.
