No. 1 North Carolina Dominant Against No. 13 Michigan St.

Posted Dec 4, 2008
Top-ranked North Carolina was impressive in what it hopes will be the first of three games at Ford Field. Tyler Hansbrough scored the first basket of both halves and finished with 23 points and 11 rebounds, leading the Tar Heels to a 98-63 rout of Michigan State on Wednesday night. The Tar Heels (8-0) took control with an 11-3 run late in the first half, led by 14 at halftime, then built a 30-plus cushion at the home of the Detroit Lions and the 2009 Final Four.
