Michigan State gave it all they had, but in the end North Carolina was just too much. The Tar Heels cruised to their fifth NCAA Division I Men's Basketball title with a 89-72 win over Michigan State. It's fifth national championship ranks tied for third all-time.
Records fell all over the place. Not only was the 72,922 attendance the most highly attended NCAA Men's basketball championship game, but UNC's 55 points in the first half, set a record for most points in a half at the Final Four, and UNC guard Ty Lawson registered eight steals, another impressive record we saw fall.
The nets have been cut down, the tears have been wiped away after watching One Shining Moment, the last piece of confetti has fallen from the sky and it's now time to put the 2009 Men's Final Four in the books. Thanks for reading and supporting NCAA Division I Men's Basketball. Til next year....
I was cheering for Michigan State. But I admit it, I kinda expected this was going to be a blowout :(
This is an awesome photo!
i think Uni NC deserved it. Watching the game, michigan just couldn't do it. after watching the first half, i thought UNC will win.
GO UNI OF NORTH CAROLINA!
