UNC will try to top wounded Wildcats without Hansbrough

Posted Nov 18, 2008
First, the obligatory Tyler Hansbrough update: UNC's center will not play against Kentucky tonight. UNC coach Roy Williams still doesn't know when Hansbrough will suit for the Tar Heels as he recovers from a stress reaction in his right shin. "He wants to play badly," Williams said. "He's ready to go, he feels really, really good right now. But until the doctors and the family and the coach -- until we all get together and make that decision for him, we're going to be conservative." (Durham Herald-Sun)
