Will Tyler Hansbrough repeat as Player of the Year?

Posted Nov 10, 2008
You don't have to love Tyler Hansbrough. But you have to admit this much: If everybody on your favorite team played as hard as he does, your favorite team would be a lot better. The North Carolina senior forward is the attack button on your Xbox controller. You keep pressing it down until your thumb is throbbing; he keeps banging and throwing himself around in the post till every opposition frontcourter is bruised. Even the Duke coach admires Hansbrough. (Rivals.com)
