Posted Nov 24, 2008
After scoring 13 points in his season debut against UC Santa Barbara late Friday night, North Carolina forward Tyler Hansbrough said he hopes to play in all three games of the Maui Invitational, which begins Monday. But after Friday's game, UNC coach Roy Williams wasn't so sure. "I don't know what we're going to do in Maui," he said after top-ranked UNC's 84-67 victory, indicating concern about playing Hansbrough in all three games. (Raleigh News & Observer)
