It’s the big dance, baby, and this is the grand finale.

The NCAA Championship Game 2009 takes place tonight, and for the first and only time in this NCAA tournament, the Big East isn’t in the spotlight.

The North Carolina Tar Heels lead the country in scoring margin (18.0), but the Michigan State Spartans are numero uno when it comes to rebound margin (9.6).

Both coaches have been to the championship game in the past, so that should make this an exciting finale. The game is set to start at 8:21pm EDT at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan.
