Tyler Hansbrough returns as Heels win
Posted Nov 22, 2008
The wait is over. Tyler Hansbrough, the reigning national college basketball player of the year, made his 2008-09 debut Friday night as top-ranked North Carolina defeated UC Santa Barbara 84-67. Hansbrough, who scored 13 points, missed the first two games of the season while nursing a stress reaction in his right shin. Ty Lawson led six players in double figures with 19 points for the Tar Heels (3-0).
