Ranking the Tar Heels Among Champions This Decade

It turns out that first meeting between North Carolina and Michigan State was no fluke. It took all of about five minutes for the Tar Heels to end the suspense Monday night and claim the national title, ending the feel-good story of the Spartans' run through the tournament.

Roy Williams was snipping the nets after winning his second title as North Carolina coach, but as good as the Tar Heels played not only in the final but throughout tournament, where do they stand with other teams to win the title this decade?

Jon Wilner of College Sports Hotline takes a look at the champions since 2000 and says the 2008-09 Tar Heels rank in the middle of pack.

A look back at Monday night's game from the terrific TV Tan Line.

Lawson Rolls the Dice and Wins

North Carolina point guard Ty Lawson wasted little time after his team arrived Wednesday in Detroit, heading out to a local casino to play craps.

"I went over to Greektown and won about $250," he said. "So I already had my time there. It's probably the last time I go there before the games start."

Lawson rambled on and it became clear that he is no stranger to felt tables.

"The only time I lost was in Reno; that's when everybody on the team lost," he said. "It's the only place I lost. The other five or six times I did gamble, I won at least $500."

Roy Williams Drops the F Bomb

North Carolina's Roy Williams let one fly Wednesday night after the Tar Heels' 89-80 victory over North Carolina State. J.P. Giglio of the Raleigh News & Observer has the story and, of course, the video. Check it out by clicking here.

Williams is no stranger to salty language. Who can forget his interview with Bonnie Bernstein after Kansas lost to Syracuse in the 2003 NCAA title game.

Speedo Guy

North Carolina pays a visit Wednesday night to Duke, and ESPN has recycled its featured on Speedo Guy, who holds a special place in history for Blue Devil fans.

Despite the rotten economy, tickets are still a hot item. As of Sunday morning, two tickets for seats in the upper corner of Cameron Indoor Stadium were being offered for up to $2,075.
