Hansbrough hurt--now what?!?

Posted Oct 31, 2008
UNC has yet to play a game, but this season is set for never-ending storylines. Before Thursday, it was the possibilities of an undefeated national championship for the Heels. Now, Tyler Hansbrough’s indefinite leg injury has put the Tar Heels’ season in question. While amazingly unfortunate, the timing is amazingly ironic. Carolina was picked as the unanimous preseason number one in the coaches’ poll on the same day as the announcement of Hansbrough’s injury. (WRAL Sports Fan)
