Hansbrough in mold of UNC greats

Posted Feb 22, 2006

Tyler Hansbrough could have taken a break. He more than deserved a rest after his historic 40-point performance in North Carolina's comeback win over Georgia Tech last week. But when Tar Heels coach Roy Williams peered onto the Smith Center court the day after Hansbrough's scoring explosion, he found the larger than life freshman shooting free throws. It didn't matter that Williams had given his team a much-needed day off. (Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star)
