Big Second Half Propels No. 2 Tar Heels to 84-58 Victory Over Florida State in ACC Opener

Posted Jan 8, 2007

With every three-point play and painful trip to the free-throw line, Tyler Hansbrough powered North Carolina past Florida State. He may have muscled the Tar Heels to No. 1 in the nation, too. Hansbrough scored 20 of his 25 points in the second half to lead the second-ranked Tar Heels to an 84-58 victory over Florida State for their 11th straight win, one marked by the relentlessly aggressive low-post play that led to Hansbrough's "Psycho T" nickname.
