Tyler Hansbrough's current field goal percentage of 64.9 would easily be the highest figure ever for a Carolina freshman, eclipsing the current mark of 62.6% held by Sam Perkins. Bobby Jones shot 66.8% from the field in his first year of varsity competition (1971-72), but it came during the period in which freshmen were ineligible. (Tar Heel Blue)
