Posted Mar 22, 2008

There was no easing into the NCAA Tournament for top-seeded North Carolina. The Tar Heels started in fifth gear and kept their engine running at full throttle in dismantling No. 16 seed Mount St. Mary’s, 113-74, in front of a home crowd at the RBC Center. “We were just more gifted and talented, which is what it boils down to,” said head coach Roy Williams, who extended his NCAA record to 19 straight seasons with a NCAA Tournament victory.
