Noel says Hansbrough has a ‘goofy side’ to his stoic nature
Posted Mar 18, 2006

Noel tried to do an impression of Hansbrough before the third-seeded Tar Heels took on No. 14 seed Murray State in Friday night’s first round of the NCAA Tournament. While lifting weights, Noel demonstrated how Hansbrough likes to kiss his biceps – slowly going from one arm to the other.
