East Regional – Elite Eight: After blowing a 12-point halftime lead, No. 1 North Carolina pulled away from No. 3 Louisville late in the second half to win 83-73 and move into the Final Four. Junior forward Tyler Hansbrough refused to let the Tar Heels lose, finishing with 28 points on 12-of-17 shooting and grabbing 13 rebounds, including seven on the offensive end. Both teams shot better than 52 percent from the field. Louisville struggled to control the ball in the first half, turning it over about a dozen times to help North Carolina build a large lead. But the Cardinals turned up the defense in the second half and were more careful against North Carolina’s press. Sophomore guard Jerry Smith led Louisville with 17 points, and junior forward Terrence Williams added 14. Four other Tar Heels in addition to Hansbrough reached double figures in scoring. [3/29/08]
