Sleeping Spartans couldn't topple Tar Heels
Posted Dec 4, 2008
It’s hard to blame the Spartans for failing to slay this basketball Goliath. MSU is a college basketball team. North Carolina is minor league NBA team. The Tar Heels have at least four players who will be in the NBA next season: Tyler Hansbrough, Tywon Lawson, Wayne Ellington and Danny Green. Those same players could just as easily have made the jump to the pros last season. Instead, they decided to stick around another year and compete for the National Championship.
