Heels thrash Oregon
Posted Nov 26, 2008
The last two North Carolina teams to win the Maui Invitational have gone on to advance to the Final Four.

Technically, Carolina didn’t need Hansbrough’s 16 points or four rebounds to blow out Oregon 98-69 in the eight-team tournament’s semifinals Tuesday night at Lahaina Civic Center.
