UNC was picked in the preseason to be the team to go to the Final Four and win the championship. They were ranked #1 in the country and had an all-star cast including Tyler Hansbrough, Ty Lawson and Danny Green. They had some iffy parts of their regular season but they made the tournament as a #1 seed and they didn't just win games in the tournament, they steamrolled their opponents. Each team they beat was beaten soundly, all by a double digit margin, including the Spartans in the championship. Their performance in this tournament, in my opinion, was the stuff of legend.
The last team in NCAA Men's Basketball to win each game by double digits in the tournament was the 1981 Indiana Hoosiers under Bob Knight. The Tarheels have done something that hasn't been done in 27 years. Is this the most dominant team in tournament history?
