UNC guns for another national championship

North Carolina bulldozed through the first four rounds of the NCAA tournament with so much ease. The national semifinals yesterday added yet another impressive and convincing win.

The Tar Heels maintained a steady double-digit lead throughout the game to end Villanova's season, 83-69. Simply put, the Wildcats never stood a chance. It was pretty much all Carolina Blue from start to finish.

ACC Player of the Year Ty Lawson led the Heels with 22 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists. Wayne Ellington added 20 points and 9 rebounds while four-time All-American Tyler Hansbrough contributed 18 points and 11 rebounds.

UNC will meet Big 10 champions Michigan State for the National Championship tomorrow morning (Manila time). It will be rematch of the December 2008 Ford Field massacre with the Heels absolutely crushing and humiliating the Spartans, 98-63.
