The Tar Heels already beat Michigan State once -- and crushed them. After three games in the week leading up to Dec. 3, the Spartans didn't have their legs. They also didn't have center Goran Suton, who missed the game with a knee injury. Still, the Tar Heels won by 35 points. The Spartans barely put up a fight.

The national Player of the Year race. This contest will be every bit as exciting and star-studded as was the campaign for college football's Heisman Trophy. North Carolina senior forward Tyler Hansbrough is, a la Tim Tebow, the reigning incumbent, but for the moment he is not the front-runner. Instead, that mantle is being carried by Blake Griffin, Oklahoma's powerful but agile 6-foot-9 sophomore forward who averaged 23 points and 14 rebounds while staking the Sooners to a 12-0 start and a No. 4 ranking. The sentimental favorite is Davidson guard Stephen Curry, the baby-faced sharp shooter who is leading the country in scoring at 30 points a game.Wed, 31 Dec 2008 16:21:00 ESThttp://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/11/04/governor.election/index.html#cnnSTCTexthttp://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/11/04/governor.election/index.html#cnnSTCTextDemocrats celebrated victories in two open gubernatorial seats early Wednesday, including the history-making election of North Carolina's first female governor.Wed, 05 Nov 2008 07:01:00 ESThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/seth_davis/10/30/north.carolina/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/seth_davis/10/30/north.carolina/index.htmlCHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- You might think a man wouldn't have any trouble gaining access to a building that bears his name, but at the moment, Dean E.

Granted, the Blue Demons didn't face the toughest of schedules early on, but they did have to maneuver their way through the rugged Big East. That 8-8 conference mark is a little misleading: Most of those were close calls -- losses to Notre Dame (fifth seed), Rutgers (second seed) and Connecticut (top seed) during the regular season were by a total of just 17 points.

So in the off-season he moved the operation from his tiny family shop in Level Cross, N.C., to a sprawling complex in Mooresville, N.C., the hub of the sport. Petty hopes the new digs will help him recruit top talent, and it's already working out that way: He lured Jeff Meendering, the former car chief for Jeff Gordon, to be crew chief for Bobby Labonte.... Another underfunded team that will struggle to finish in the top 20 in points this season is Robby Gordon Motorsports. Gordon is the only full-time independent owner-driver in the series, and while he had two top 10 runs last season, he also finished 30th or worse 13 times....
