UNC runs past Zags into Final Eight
Posted Mar 28, 2009
Let the hype begin for Psycho T vs. Robo B. UNC ran Gonzaga out of Memphis and the NCAA Tournament with a 98-77 offensive clinic in the South Regional semifinal. Standing in the way of UNC's return to the Final Four is Oklahoma and Blake Griffin. Sunday's regional final (5:05 p.m.) will pit UNC's Tyler Hansbrough, the 2008 national player of the year, against Oklahoma's Griffin, the 2009 national player of the year.
