Hansbrough, Heels lead field for Maui Invitational
Posted Nov 24, 2008
Only one topic was talked about more than the rainy weather on Maui: the health of Tyler Hansbrough. The reigning national player of the year will play for No. 1 North Carolina in this week's 25th edition of the EA Sports Maui Invitational, no one, however, is sure just how much time he will see. "The only person who knows how much pain there is is Tyler," Tar Heels coach Roy Williams said Sunday.
