First test taught Heels valuable lesson
Posted Mar 19, 2006
According to senior forward David Noel, his younger teammates were visibly nervous in the early stages of Friday’s game. But to their credit, they eventually regained their composure and then some. And at a time in the game when the knees of even the most experienced players have been known to buckle, Hansbrough and classmates Danny Green, Bobby Frasor and Marcus Ginyard combined to score their team’s final 29 points.
