Last night the UNC Tar heels defeated Michigan State University 89 / 72.
UNC took the lead fast; 21 / 7 in the first few minutes of the game. By half time the Tar Heels were leading 55 / 34, which is both the highest number of points ever scored and the largest lead ever seen in the 1st half of any NCAA Championship game! They continued to held on to this lead the entire game. Although it wasn’t much of a battle, I am happy to see the Tar Heels bring home another NCAA Championship!
Unfortunately I did not make it to Detroit to cheer on my Tar Heels, nor did I make to Chapel Hill for the celebration. However here is a great collection of National Championship Images and a few outrageous Videos from Franklin Street Last Night:
