Wiederer: Final-Four bound Heels follow the game plan perfectly

Posted Mar 30, 2009
By night’s end, the Tar Heels were headed back to Chapel Hill with two FedEx Forum nets and the championship trophy of the South Regional packed in their carry-on luggage. They had not only beaten second-seeded Oklahoma 72-60. They had set a defensive trap and giggled as the Sooners, like some cartoon villains, stumbled in and were quickly corralled with no escape. Carolina led for 38 minutes and 5 seconds. (Fayetteville Observer)
