Lucas: Smooth Moves
Posted Nov 22, 2008
A sellout crowd of 6,000 shoehorned into Santa Barbara's Thunderdome on Friday night expecting to see the North Carolina they've seen so often in highlights.

They saw the latter during Carolina's 84-67 win, as Hansbrough played for the first time this season and contributed 13 points and seven rebounds in just 25 minutes.
