Dascenzo: Tar Heels' freshman dominates
Posted Jan 31, 2006
Before last Saturday's Arizona-North Carolina game at the Smith Center, the two numbers which couldn't be ignored concerned freshman Tyler Hansbrough. No, it wasn't that season-high 26-point performance against Boston College. No, not that 61.7 percent field-goal shooting. Those are impressive. But get this. Hansbrough had attempted 72 more free throws than any other UNC player before the game with Arizona.
