Tar Heels' Williams Wins Second Title for His Alma Mater : North
Carolina 89, Michigan State 72
DETROIT, April 6 -- A journey that began with four uncommon career
decisions last spring ended in a cavernous stadium Monday night, with
North Carolina's four most recognizable stars rejoicing amid a
downpour of confetti and before a crowd awash mostly in green and
white.
All along, this celebration was considered nearly inevitable for these
Tar Heels, a uniquely talented team that followed the unexpected path
of a trio of Florida Gators three years earlier. While those Gators
delayed NBA careers to win a second consecutive championship, four of
these Tar Heels postponed professional careers in hope of winning
their first title and experiencing the scene that unfolded at Ford
Field late Monday.
