North Carolina Dominates Eastern Kentucky, 86-65 :: Tar Heels advance to Michigan State match-up
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) - North Carolina built a big lead with the impressive up-tempo style that coach Roy Williams loves - only to watch a determined opponent nearly come all the way back.

In the end, it still wasn't enough to keep the top-seeded Tar Heels from advancing in the NCAA tournament or from adding another achievement to Williams' impressive resume.

Tyler Hansbrough had 21 points and 10 rebounds to help the top-seeded Tar Heels beat Eastern Kentucky 86-65 in Thursday's first round, giving Williams an NCAA-record 18 straight years with at least one tournament victory.

Reyshawn Terry added 18 points on 8-for-9 shooting for the Tar Heels (29-6), who advanced to face ninth-seeded Michigan State in the second round of the East Regional on Saturday.
