Player of the Year: Blake Griffin (6'10''-F-89) of Oklahoma 1st Team Blake Griffin of Oklahoma DeJuan Blair (6'7''-F-89) of Pittsburgh James Harden (6'5''-G-89) of Arizona State Stephen Curry (6'3''-G-88) of Davidson Tyler Hansbrough (6'9''-F-85) of North Carolina 2nd Team Ty Lawson (5'11''-G-87) of North Carolina Hasheem Thabeet (7'3''-C-87) of Connecticut Jerel McNeal (6'3''-G-87) of Marquette Luke Harangody (6'8''-F-88) of Notre Dame Jodie Meeks (6'4''-G-87) of Kentucky N.Carolina defeats Michigan St. 89-72 to win the NCAA Championship North Carolina has beaten Michigan State 89-72 to win its fifth NCAA basketball championship. Ty Lawson (5'11''-G-87) led a record-setting first half and the Tar Heels coasted to an easy victory Monday night at Ford Field. The Tar Heels (34-4) started the season as the unanimous No. 1 pick and breezed through the NCAA tournament. They became the first team to win all six games by double digits. Lawson finished with 21 points and eight steals for coach Roy Williams' team. Goran Suton (6'10''-C-85) had 17 points and 11 rebounds for Michigan State (31-7). The Spartans lost for the first time in three championship game appearances. Live Thoughts from the game with Kevin Kloostra The game is about to start! The crowd is ready, the players are ready, the world is ready to see a amazing game between Michigan St and North Carolina! The Ford Field is packed and the game is about to start. Michael Jordan , Magic Johnson, and Larry Bird are just a few of the basketball legends at game tonight. The attendance for tonight's game is 72, 922 and that is a new record. 1st Half Wow an amazing start to this game, a jump ball was called in the first 2 seconds of the game and Tyler Hansbrough (6'9''-F-85) was sent to the ground. Deon Thompson (6'8''-F-88) opens the game for UNC with a running shot in the lane. Sutton answers the UNC bucket with a huge 3 pointer and the crowd is going nuts here in Detroit. With 15:24 left in the first half the score is 17-7 for the North Caroina Tar Heels. So far the Heels have controlled the game by scoring on almost every trip, while Michigan State has failed to get anything going on the offensive end. The Crowd is so quiet right now because North Carolina has jumped out to a 24-9 lead with 13 minutes to go in the first half. With 7:33 to go in the first half the score is now 38-18 for the Tar Heels. North Carolina has done whatever they want so far and Michigan State has no answer for them on the defensive end thus far. The crowd is begging for a State run right now, the Spartans must go on a run before the half runs out. This game is getting out of hand real quick, Tom Izzo was just forced to call a timeout because of wide open Wayne Ellington (6'4''-G-87) 3 pointer, the score is now 43-20 for UNC. The final media timeout of the half was just called with 3:43 left on the clock and the score is 48-25 for the Tar Heels. The First half has just came to a close and the score is 55-34 for the North Carolina Tar Heels. The Tar Heels have just set an NCAA record for most points in a half with 55. This first half has been dominated by the Tar Heels because they can basically do whatever they want, they are scoring at will and their defensive has been tremendous. Michigan State has not played their best ball yet and must come out and play absolutely flawless in the 2nd half for them to win. 2nd Half The 2nd half has started and Goran Suton has scored a quick layup but Ty Lawson answers right back with a pair of free throws. It is going to take a miracle for Michigan State to come back, but this home crowd might just be able to help them out. Michigan State is trying so hard to get back into this game! After a huge 3 by Sutton to cut the lead to 18 they got a big stop on defence but turned the ball over at half court and UNC answered with layup and a foul by Ed Davis (6'10''-F-89) to quiet the crowd here in Detroit. The score is now 61-41 with 14:55 to go in the game. I have to say watching Ty Lawson is person for the first time, he is the fastest point guard with the ball I have seen. The man can move people! With 11:47 to go in the game the score is 65-46 for North Carolina. The Tar Heels have answered every Michigan State run with huge baskets to quiet this crowd. They are such a well rounded team that almost never gets rattled under pressure. Danny Green just hit a huge 3 to put the lead back up to 19. Wayne Ellington leads the way for UNC with 19 points and Goran Suton leads the way Michigan State with 14 points so far. Michigan State continues to struggle shooting the ball as they have just missed three long 3 pointers in a row. The score is now 72-53 for UNC with 7:33 to go. Ty Lawson has 8 steals in the game so far! That is unheard of in a basketball game, an absolute amazing performance by Lawson. Michigan State is shooting 42.2 % for the game and UNC is shooting 44.2 %. The key stat is the free throw shooting of State, they have shot only 58.8% for the game so far. State has cut the lead to 13 with 4:57 and the crowd is going wild here in Detroit. Ty Lawson with a amazing drive to hoop for a layup has almost secured the championship for North Carolina. They lead 80-65 with only 3:51 to go in the game, time is running out for the Spartans. The game is officially over as the North Carolina Tar Heels have won the game 89-72. Penn State wins NIT Championship (Photo: Penn St.) Penn State coach Ed DeChellis met with his team a couple of hours before playing Baylor in the NIT title game and had only one request. 'Give me everything you have,' he said. 'If it's good enough, it's good enough; if it's not, it's not. Just leave it all on the floor.' The Nittany Lions certainly did. And it was plenty. Jamelle Cornley (6'5''-F-87) scored 18 points and the scrappy Nittany Lions, chasing every loose ball and hustling for every rebound, outlasted the Bears 69-63 on Thursday night to win only the second postseason tournament title in school history. Talor Battle (5'11''-G-88) added 12 points, all in the second half, for the Nittany Lions (27-11), who were spurred on by raucous chants of 'We are ... Penn State,' led by none other than Joe Paterno, the 82-year-old football coach sitting about four rows behind the team's bench. 'You don't know what it's going to be like when you go into it,' said Cornley, the tournament's most valuable player. 'The last time I cut down the nets was the state championship my freshman year of high school. To cut down some more nets in my last game is just an unbelievable feeling.' The only other postseason tournament Penn State had won was the Atlantic 10 in 1991. It was a physical game, and both teams spent most of the night scrambling for every ball in sight. Penn State guard Danny Morrissey (6'3''-G) was trying to corral a loose one near the scorer's table with about 2 1/2 minutes to go and the Nittany Lions leading 57-48 when he slammed his head into the floor, laying motionless on the sideline for a few moments. Trainers hurried over and tended to the senior, who had a cut above his lip but eventually walked off the floor on his own. 'We have tough kids. We're going to go compete. That's been our trademark all year,' DeChellis said. 'That play typifies what our team has been like all year.' The Bears trailed 62-50 after Stanley Pringle made a pair of free throws with under 2 minutes left, but they did their best to rally. Tweety Carter's 3-pointer made it 62-55 with just over a minute to go, and he made another with 16.8 seconds left to get within 68-63. Baylor simply ran out of time. Battle hit one of two foul shots, and Curtis Jerrells (6'1''-G-87) air-balled a 3-point attempt to set off a jubilant celebration in one end of Madison Square Garden, where some 36 busloads of white-clad fans made it look like the end zone of Beaver Stadium on a fall Saturday. 'Penn State had a great following, a great crowd, and they're the ones who hit big shots and won the game,' said Baylor coach Scott Drew . 'As a coach you never feel bad about that, when a team plays great and wins the game.' Lacedarius Dunn (6'4''-G-87) scored 18 points to lead Baylor (24-15), which hadn't won a postseason game since 1950 before its run to the NIT final. Jerrells added 14 points, and Carter and Kevin Rogers (6'9''-F-86) had 12 points each. Baylor controlled the game in the first half, using a 2-3 zone to slow the tempo to a plodding walk, and took its biggest lead at 26-20 with about 3 minutes left. Penn State closed the gap before Carter's 3-pointer with a few seconds to go made it 29-25 at the break. As halftime was drawing to a close, JoePa was shown on the video screens over midcourt, pumping his fist and leading a chorus of chants. The energized Nittany Lions roared out of the locker room, with Cornley scoring a pair of hard buckets inside, just like a fullback powering through the line. As the momentum began to turn, Drew got the ire of one of the officials after staring him down following a foul. When the young coach threw his jacket behind his team's bench, he earned a quick technical foul that only gave Penn State some more juice. 'I shouldn't have done that, but I had an itch in my coat and I threw it,' Drew said, smiling afterward. 'I apologized to the guys because I shouldn't have done that.' Drew went on to express his affection for a remarkable senior class-- Jerrells, Rogers and teammates Henry Dugat (6'0''-G-87) and Mamadou Diene (7'1''-C-87)--who helped turn around a program that was still reeling from the shooting death of a player and numerous NCAA violations. They walked off the court for the last time having remade Baylor into a team capable of playing with the best, and now the question becomes whether the school can sustain the success. And that has everything to do with Drew, who has been linked to a number of openings, most notably Memphis. 'It'd take me a half-hour to go over all the firsts, but as a coach I'm very proud of what they've overcome,' Drew said, without addressing his coaching future. 'They'll be able to walk tall.' Courtesy of Penn State Gonzaga's Heytvelt leads All-Star team to win - Apr 3, 2009 Josh Heytvelt (6'11''-F-86) expected to finish his career with a Final Four trip in Detroit, not a meaningless All-Star game. His shot at the Final Four denied, Heytvelt still wanted to go out with a memory on the Ford Field court. Heytvelt hit the winning 3-pointer in the final minute, scored 17 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to lead the Reeses All-Stars to a 105-100 win over Hersheys All-Stars in a college senior game Friday night. Walking in the hallway right when we got here in Ford Field was kind of depressing a little bit, Heytvelt said. But I got over it, because I had something to look forward to today. The Tar Heels eliminated Heytvelts Gonzaga team in the regional semifinal. Boston Colleges Tyrese Rice (6'1''-G-87) scored 24 points and Wisconsins Marcus Landry (6'7''-F-85) had 14 for the winners in a game played on the same court as the Final Four. Connecticut plays Michigan State, and Villanova plays North Carolina on Saturday. Just to have this experience like those great teams is wonderful, Landry said. The exhibition pitted a couple of Final Four coaching veterans against each other. Former Arkansas coach Nolan Richardson led Josh Carter (6'7''-G/F-88) and the Hersheys team, and Bruce Weber of Illinois coached Rice and the Reeses All Stars. Each coach was familiar with his top assistant. Richardson reunited with Missouri coach Mike Anderson ; the duo worked together on Arkansas 1994 title team. Purdue coach Matt Painter was an assistant under Weber at Southern Illinois. Weber, who led Illinois to a national runner-up finish in 2005, was a last-minute sub for former Purdue coach Gene Keady. Keady missed the game because his wife is ill. I feel bad for him because hed love to be part of it, Weber said. Its fun to get to know guys from all over the place. I thought they played pretty hard and played basketball like youre supposed to. Central Florida's Jermaine Taylor (6'4''-G-86) had 23 points for Hersheys. Washington's Justin Dentmon (5'11''-G) had 22 points, and Auburn's Korvotney Barber (6'7''-F-87) added 17. This game, featuring a collection of players who arent moving on to the NBA, looked like just about any other basketball All-Star game. Richardsons famed 40 Minutes of Hell took 30 minutes to warm up. Richardson had only two days to get his roster caught up on the basics of the pressure defense. Most of the players have been finished for weeks, and it looked like it. They didnt have their legs and the style that I play, you have to have other guys come in and give that group some help, Richardson said. There were a whopping 55 turnovers in the game, and 10 players scored in double figures. In the beginning it was just guys trying to get familiar with the court and everything, but in the second half the intensity really picked up, Landry said. Guys were out there to play. Landry hit a pair of 3s midway through the second half to give the Reeses team a 76-64 lead. Like he did with the Razorbacks, Richardson cranked up the defensive pressure, and his team stormed back to take the lead. Barbers dunk off a miss made it 80-79 to give Richardsons team the lead. The lead swapped between the teams several times over the final minutes, delighting a few thousand fans who watched the free game at Ford Field. Were kind of chilling there with the lead, and they made the run at us, Weber said. Coach Richardson was pressing us. Taylors dunk with 1 minute left gave Hersheys its last lead, 98-96. Heytvelt, who scored 14 points in his final game for Gonzaga in an NCAA tournament loss to North Carolina, hit the 3 that put Reeses ahead for good. Rice sealed the win from the free-throw line. It took some time to get used to it, but it was pretty neat, Heytvelt said.
