NCAA Title Game (2nd half)

I'm not sure how much fun this will be, just counting down 20 minutes until Roy's Boys cut down another net. Like I said...UNC by 12...

15:00: (UNC 59-41)...MSU is trying to get something going, but Ty Lawson just broke a title game record with 8 steels.

...good to see Griffin get the Naismith
..."I Like Square Butts"...?
...Love the Guitar Hero Metallica commercial...(That means you've gotta put on some pants, pops)

12:15: (UNC 46-62) One gets the feeling the MSU is a big play or two away from making this a game.

12:00: (UNC 65-46) Nevermind...3 pointer by Danny Green (UNC)

...Google searching "Live blog title game"...
...this is how the pro's do it:

Update | 11:01 p.m. Perhaps the answer to that question is no. Danny Green drills a 3-pointer and North Carolina’s lead is back to 19.

Update | 10:56 p.m. With 12 minutes left, Michigan State has cut the lead to 16 points, 62-46. Can Izzo’s guys make it interesting?
Didn't I just say that?

11:00: (UNC 65-47) MSU is continuing to turn the ball over...

10:00: (UNC 68-50) Lawson's made free throws makes him the 3rd Tar Heel to score in double figures

8:45: (UNC 70-53) Izzo promised to shave his head at the end of the season if the Spartans won the Big 10 (which they did)

7:33: (UNC 72-53) Davis's field goal makes him the 4th UNC player in double figures

...Facebook status updates from KU folks:

...is wondering if anyone else out there wants NC to get blown out by 100 points tonight. Or at least for Roy to get hit in the head with a basketball really hard!
...Yes! But not looking like it is going to happen.
...Yes, yes, yes, yes! I thought that my mom and I were the ONLY people who would like to see Roy beaned with a basketball! It's so nice to know that we're not alone!!

...GO MSU! Down with Roy.
...
anyone but UNC...

6:11: (UNC 74-59) All time record attendance at a championship game.

4:57: (UNC 76-63) Another athletic trainer moment as Lucious (MSU) goes down. He's got two of the Spartans' 6 3-pointers tonight.

4:46: (UNC 78-65) The lead's down to 13. Can they make a final run? (NC has scored only 23 points this half)

3:51: (UNC 80-65) Ty Lawson (UNC) 2-pointer and an offensive foul on Kalin Lucas (MSU). The 'Heels are keeping them at arms' length here.

...MSU has committed 20 turnovers to NC's 7

2:45: (UNC 82-65) Hansbrough has some time here while he shoots free throws to think about how happy he is to have come back for this season.

1:03: (UNC 87-70) Roy subs in the scrubs...count it down

...240 minutes of basketball played in the tournament by UNC...double-digit leads for 154 of those...trailed for only 10...

0:00: Final score UNC 89, MSU 72

Final four MVP is Wayne Ellington
