North Carolina Handles Rutgers, 97-75

Posted Dec 29, 2008
Roy Williams was talking about North Carolina's latest win. The Hall of Fame coach could have been discussing his entire season. "Every time I looked up," he said, "we were up 14, 16, 18, something like that." That's been the theme so far for his top-ranked Tar Heels, whose latest blowout victory has placed them in good company. Their 97-75 rout of Rutgers on Sunday night marked their school-record 12th straight by double figures. (Tar Heel Blue)
