| Final - |
| The Heels hang on for their 4th-straight double-digit tournament win and they can thank Tyler Hansbrough for that. The Missouri man scored 28 points (20 in the second half) and grabbed 13 boards en route to another double-double and the Heels are headed to the Final Four. Louisville made a great run to tie it up midway through the second half, but they faded down the stretch and simply couldn't shut down Hansbrough. Those two jumpers at the end were outstanding. UNC will take on either Kansas or Davidson in San Antonio. I like their chances against both teams. How much has Hansbrough's NBA stock shot up? |
| 2nd Half - 0:42 |
| Sosa hits a triple after a Padgett offensive board and the lead is down to 8. It's not going to be enough. |
| 2nd Half - 1:00 |
| The Cards came back to tie it but the lead is nearly back to where it was at the half. It was a heck of a comeback, but it looks like Louisville's tourney run is going to come to an end in Charlotte. |
| 2nd Half - 1:12 |
| Hansbrough is doing it all...that ball fake and jumper was ice cold. |
| 2nd Half - 2:09 |
| That was an ice cold jumper by Hansbrough with Padgett's hand right in his face. This guy is on another level. Earl Clark travels on the other end and the Heels' fans are going nuts. Hansbrough's got 26 now. |
