UNC weakness exposed with Hansbrough out

Posted Nov 9, 2008
Leading 44-25 at halftime, UNC dominated Division II UNC-Pembroke in the second half. But one glaring stat: the Tar Heels only outrebounded the Braves by seven, despite the fact that UNC Pembroke didn't start a player taller than 6-foot-5. “You can even tell in practice, we just play differently when he (Tyler) is not there,” Frasor said. Forward Deon Thompson led the team in rebounding with 10. (Charlotte Observer)
