Pack's task: Try to stop Hansbrough

Posted Feb 22, 2006

Tyler Hansbrough outplayed N.C. State center Cedric Simmons the last time the teams met, scoring 20 points. Simmons scored eight in 21 foul-plagued minutes, but said he must remain aggressive against Hansbrough this time. N.C. State forward Ilian Evtimov, listed as day-to-day with a sprained foot ligament, said keeping Hansbrough from establishing position is the only way to stop him. (Charlotte Observer)
