UNC tops Spartans in another Challenge

Posted Dec 2, 2009
North Carolina’s Deon Thompson looked at the scoreboard at halftime of Tuesday’s game against Michigan State and had a little bit of déjà vu. The Tar Heels defeated the Spartans twice during the 2008-09 season, including the national championship game in April. And the 50 points in the first half of Tuesday night’s Big Ten/ACC Challenge made it three games in a row against MSU for the Heels to lead by double-digits. (Durham Herald-Sun)
