Title game becomes rematch of 'bests'
Posted Apr 5, 2009
College basketball's best story won Saturday's opening Final Four game. College basketball's best team ruled the nightcap. UNC throttled Villanova 83-69 to set up a Monday championship contest against Michigan State. That's five tournament victories for the Tar Heels. All by at least a dozen points. Ranked No. 1 for much of the season, UNC was as controlled against Villanova as it was skittish in last year's Final Four loss to Kansas.
