North Carolina should emerge
Posted Mar 16, 2009
The world is waiting to see a showdown between UNC's Tyler Hansbrough and Oklahoma's Blake Griffin in a nice, juicy matchup of big men in the Elite Eight. Hansbrough will be there. Griffin will not. That's because Griffin does not have a point guard as talented as Ty Lawson. He is the quarterback that will guide the Tar Heels to the Final Four. But there is no question Hansbrough and Griffin are the sexy names in this bracket.
