Tyler Zeller, Ed Davis get their shot
Posted Nov 15, 2008
Roy Williams wouldn't say Friday which of his freshman forwards would start in Tyler Hansbrough's place this afternoon against Penn. In the end, it doesn't matter, because for both Tyler Zeller and Ed Davis, this is the start of something bigger. No one knows how long Hansbrough will be out with the stress reaction in his right shin. Williams downgraded Hansbrough on Friday from "extremely doubtful" to extremely out.
