Tar Heels squander lead, fall to Hoyas

Posted Mar 26, 2007

Jaw set, eyes about to well, Tyler Hansbrough was the first UNC player in line to congratulate Georgetown. He then raced off the court in frustration. "I didn't want to watch them celebrate," Hansbrough explained after his Tar Heels squandered a 10-point lead, fell to the Hoyas 96-84 in overtime and choked on their chance to advance to the NCAA Final Four. "I thought we'd be the ones out there cutting down the nets." (Raleigh News & Observer)
