NCAA championship will end on Tobacco Road
Posted Jun 18, 2008
Officially, the next men’s NCAA basketball national champion will be crowned near midnight on April 6, 2009. Realistically, the title was won shortly before 5 p.m. Monday, when North Carolina announced that three players — Ty Lawson, Wayne Ellington and Danny Green — had removed their names from the NBA draft.
