Racers wary of Hansbrough

Posted Mar 13, 2006

Tyler Hansbrough has been Murray State coach Mick Cronin's favorite player to watch all season. Then again, he admitted to that before studying tape of the third-seeded Tar Heels, who the 14th-seeded Racers (24-6) will play in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. "He's a pit bull," Cronin said of Hansbrough after the seedings were announced Sunday. "He's relentless, and he has great hands and great feet. He's probably my favorite college player to watch. He's a tremendous competitor." (Raleigh News & Observer)
