Green Day

Like a well- oiled muscle car, the Spartans stepped on the gas right after the opening tip and unleashed a lethal running game backed with a tenacious defense against the taller, bigger and heavily-favored University of Connecticut Huskies in Motor City.

In the drag race that ensued, the Spartans left the top- seeded Huskies eating the dust and clobbered their second No.1- ranked opponent in a row into submission with a hard-fought 82- 73 victory before the eyes of their adoring supporters in downtown Detroit's Ford Field.

The win put them on a collision course with the mighty University of North Carolina Tar Heels on Monday for the ultimate prize in College Basketball and to immortality.



Go GREEN!





UPDATE: The Tar Heels coasted to an easy victory over the Spartans 89-72 to win their 5th National Championship.
