Noel says Hansbrough has a ‘goofy side’ to his stoic nature

Posted Mar 18, 2006

North Carolina’s Tyler Hansbrough rarely breaks into a smile on the court. But teammate David Noel insists the freshman center has a goofy side. 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. (Jacksonville Daily News)
