Michigan State and North Carolina are both headed toward a familiar place. The Spartans call it Michigan. The Heels call it the Final Four.
Michigan State (30-6) topped Louisville -- the NCAA tournament's top overall seed -- 64-52 today to advance to the Final Four next weekend at Ford Field in Detroit, which is approximately 90 miles east of its campus in East Lansing. North Carolina (32-4), one of the favorites heading into the tournament, defeated Oklahoma, 72-60, to advance to its 18th Final Four in team history, most all time.
