They keep moving on. Heading into Saturday's showdown with Michigan State, a lot of people thought that the Spartans would potentially be able to pull off an upset win against North Carolina. Early on, things were looking that way.

MSU jumped out to a double-digit lead and UNC fans were quite nervous. However, the Tar Heels found their form and regained the lead before half. Then in the second half, it was all Heels, as they're headed back to the Sweet Sixteen.

UNC ran away with things in the final 20 minutes of action and now fans are dreaming of a return trip to the Final Four. First, they'll need to take care of business next round and then the Elite Eight, if they make it, after that. However, this team sure looks like it's ready to go on another natty run. There's a lot of excitement around the ACC powerhouse.
