Santa Barbara vs. North Carolina Preview
Posted Nov 21, 2008
Despite suffering another injury to its frontcourt, North Carolina could possibly get a boost Friday from the return of the 2007-08 national player of the year. Tyler Hansbrough could back be in the lineup for No. 1 North Carolina (2-0) when the Tar Heels travel to UC Santa Barbara. North Carolina coach Roy Williams indicated that Hansbrough, who has missed three weeks of practice and the first two games with a stress reaction in his right shin, is close to playing again.
