89, 
72DETROIT- They certainly left no doubt. North Carolina jumped out to 20 point lead after the first ten minutes of the game, and were never really threatened again, crusing to win their fifth championship. With the Tar Heels firing on all cylinders at the start of the game, Michigan State came out flat and commited 21 turnovers in the game, while just shooting 40% (22 for 55) from the field. The slow start by the Spartans also took the crowd of mostly Michigan State fans out of the game. By halftime, the Tar Heels had scored an NCAA Championship record 55 in the first half, and led by a record 21 points.
North Carolina's super point guard Ty Lawson scored a game-high 21 points, had 6 assists, and also an NCAA Championship record 8 steals. Wayne Ellington, who was named Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four, added 19 points.
Michigan State was led by Goran Suton who had 17 points and 11 rebounds, but the spectacular, efficient games played in wins over Big East powers Louisville and Connecticut could not be replicated by Spartans Monday night.
