Third time no charm for Spartans against mighty Tar Heels

Posted Dec 2, 2009
Champions make plays happen under duress and that's exactly what North Carolina did against Michigan State on Tuesday night. In a rematch of last year's national championship game in Detroit, the Tar Heels overcame a long field-goal drought and hung on for an 89-82 victory at the Dean Smith Center. "It's hard to be disappointed and proud of your team at the same time," coach Tom Izzo said. (Detroit News)
