Hansbrough: I don't see myself leaving

Posted Mar 12, 2007

UNC forward Tyler Hansbrough won his first ACC Tournament title on Sunday -- and he doesn't think it will be his last. "I don't really see myself leaving [for the NBA]," said Hansbrough, a sophomore All-America. "Actually, I love going to college and I like my teammates a lot, and I'm having so much fun here. But I'll re-assess at the end of the season, but I really doubt it." (Raleigh News & Observer)
