Youthful Tar Heels travel to Kentucky

Posted Dec 3, 2005

Tyler Hansbrough toured Rupp Arena during a high school visit. But the North Carolina freshman said he has never seen Rupp like it will be today, with screaming fans and flickering cameras. The same with fellow freshman Marcus Ginyard. “It’s going to be crazy in there,” Ginyard said of today’s game at No. 10 Kentucky. “There’s so much basketball tradition in there, you expect the worst.” (Shelby Star)
