Hansbrough handy for Heels
Posted Jan 19, 2006
Getting the ball to Tyler Hansbrough will be important tonight against the Cavaliers, a guard-driven team that starts 6-foot-10 Jason Cain and 6-11 Tunji Soroye in the frontcourt. Cavaliers coach Dave Leito said he thinks of the 6-9 Hansbrough as an elite ACC player rather than a freshman, and that he "presents a major challenge for us because he's so good ... and so aggressive."
