In the wake of Saturday night's victory over Michigan State, Reyshawn Terry was looking for the right words to describe the Spartans. He pondered for just a second, and then he said this: "That is a tough team. The toughest team we've played all year long." Tough is one of a basketball player's biggest compliments. Sometimes, it is a synonym for dirty. Not on Saturday. On Saturday, tough meant tough. (Tar Heel Blue)
