North Carolina Handles Rutgers, 97-75
Roy Williams was talking about North Carolina's latest win. The Hall of Fame coach could have been discussing his entire season.

"Every time I looked up," he said, "we were up 14, 16, 18, something like that."

That's been the theme so far for his top-ranked Tar Heels, whose latest blowout victory has placed them in good company. Their 97-75 rout of Rutgers on Sunday night marked their school-record 12th straight by double figures.

Tyler Hansbrough had 26 points and 10 rebounds, Ty Lawson added 19 points and Danny Green had 18 for the Tar Heels (12-0), who shot 51.5 percent and held a 40-26 rebounding advantage. They surpassed the previous mark of consecutive blowouts set by the 1992-93 team that went on to win the national championship.
