The UNC Tar Heels move on to the Elite Eight as they used a big second half run to roll over the weary USC Trojans, 74-64, in their Sweet Sixteen matchup.
Freshman phenom Brandan Wright led the way with 21 points and 9 rebounds. Tar Heel best player and All-American sophomore Tyler Hansbrough had an off-night and finished with 5 points. He averaged 27 point during the first two rounds.
The Heels meet the Georgetown Hoyas in the East Regional final slated Monday morning (Manila time). It is a rematch of the 1982 NCAA Championship game which the Heels beat the Hoyas on a game-winning jumper by the legendary Michael Jordan. The winner will go on to Atlanta for the Final Four.
Coincidentally, both teams are sponsored by the Jordan Brand.
