Posted Dec 6, 2013
North Carolina's 79-65 upset of No. 1 Michigan State on Wednesday stunned the college basketball world, which was starting to doubt that this Tar Heel team could live up to past standards after early season losses against Belmont and UAB. UNC's former All-American point guard Phil Ford wasn't one of those doubters, but even he was surprised as he watched the Tar Heels take down the Spartans. (Fayetteville Observer)
