No Achilles' heel for UNC
Posted Nov 7, 2008
Tyler Hansbrough wanted to stay [at UNC] simply because he was having too much fun. But he knew the decision was personal, and "I didn't talk to [my teammates] much during the process," said Hansbrough. "I didn't think we'd all be here to the end." But that is exactly what has happened as Ty Lawson, Danny Green, and Wayne Ellington all said thanks but no thanks to the NBA. And just like that, the Tar Heels had gone from a good team to a super team.
