Hansbrough and the No. 2 Tar Heels working toward the Final Four

Posted Nov 10, 2006

Tyler Hansbrough may be humble, but getting embarrassed is probably the last thing on the mind of coach Roy Williams. With six talented freshmen joining Hansbrough and a strong group of veterans, Williams is focused on taking the Tar Heels back to the Final Four. As for a second national title in Williams' fourth season at his beloved alma mater? Well, the only team in front of the second-ranked Tar Heels at the start of the season are the defending champs at Florida. (Myrtle Beach Sun News)
