Tyler Hansbrough ready to leave his mark on Tar Heels, Chapel Hill

Posted Oct 30, 2008
All the taunts and jeers Tyler Hansbrough has heard the last three seasons from opponents' fans, plus the callous signs some hold up in a vain attempt to rattle him, are aspects of college basketball he has come to love. "A lot of people try to get in my head sometimes," the 6-9 North Carolina forward says. "I like it. I like going places knowing they're cheering their hardest against you. To me, that's what makes road trips so fun." Hansbrough is ready for more. (USA Today)
