Hansbrough Heels' new phenom

Posted Mar 14, 2006

If anyone can lead the Tar Heels to a successful defense of their national championship, it's the 6-foot-9, 235-pound powerhouse who's doing things no other ACC rookie ever did. The first freshman ever to lead North Carolina in both scoring and rebounding, the first freshman voted unanimously to the All-ACC first team, the first unanimous selection as ACC rookie of the year, Hansbrough doesn't see why his newness on campus should limit his can-do-ness on the court.
