Tar Heels cruise in exhibition
Posted Nov 9, 2008
So this is what North Carolina would have looked like had Tyler Hansbrough gone pro early. Good thing Ty Lawson, Wayne Ellington and Danny Green didn’t. With the reigning National Player of the Year on the bench until at least the end of this week because of a stress reaction in his right shin, his veteran teammates led the top-ranked Tar Heels to a 102-62 exhibition victory Saturday night over UNC Pembroke.
