Posted Apr 5, 2009

OK, Michigan State. I know you partied last night. You turned Greektown to Green Town. You burned random objects in celebration in East Lansing. But here comes the bad news. North Carolina is next, and the Tar Heels are playing basketball as if they invented it. They are focused, prepared and just a little bit edgy and angry. The Tar Heels turned what used to be an exciting Villanova team into Vanilla during a crushing 83-69 victory. (Detroit News)
