The North Carolina Tar Heels slaughtered the Michigan State Spartans 89-72 on Monday night to clain their 5th National Championship.
“The best team won,” Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said. “That’s an easy statement to make.”
The Tar Heels led 55-34 at halftime which breaks a 42-year old record for the biggest lead and the most points scored at the half.
“We handled injuries, handled some losses” this season, Williams said. “The youngsters standing behind me are great, great young men. I’m the luckiest coach in America, I can tell you that.”
The Spartans had high praise for the Champs.
“You’ve got six NBA players that could be drafted in the first round or early second,” Spartans guard Travis Walton said. “You’re looking at a team that could probably beat the worst team in the NBA.”
The game itself was very one-sided and quite boring but nonetheless congratulations North Carolina!
