North Carolina 94, Fayetteville St. 58
Posted Nov 5, 2005

Freshman Tyler Hansbrough had 26 points on 11-for-14 shooting to lead the Tar Heels past Fayetteville State 94-58 in an exhibition game, a solid preseason debut for a player expected to have a large role in helping the Tar Heels rebuild after an offseason overhaul.
