Heels dominate

Posted Dec 4, 2008
If North Carolina wants to return here in April, it needs to keep playing like this. Ty Lawson sped, Tyler Hansbrough dominated and UNC rolled to a 98-63 blowout of No.13 Michigan State in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. The top-ranked Tar Heels (8-0) have now won five of their past six in the made-for-ESPN event. More important to their quest to return to Ford Field for the Final Four, they have now beaten two top-15 teams in the past eight days. (Charlotte Observer)
