North Carolina all business with Michigan State on horizon

Posted Apr 5, 2009

The Tar Heels aren't exactly giddy about winning a Final Four game. Michigan State players chest-bumped, hugged and beamed up at the stands. UNC's players shook each other's hands. "We wanted to compete as hard as we could this season and leave it all on the floor," said Wayne Ellington, who scored 20 points. "We're happy to be able to compete for a national championship Monday night." A direct answer from a business-like team. (Chicago Tribune)
