Tar Heels Trounce Silverswords, 115-70

Posted Nov 25, 2008
Senior Danny Green scored a career-high 26 points and No. 1 North Carolina, again playing without Tyler Hansbrough, beat Chaminade 115-70 on Monday night in the opening round of the EA Sports Maui Invitational. Hansbrough missed three weeks of practice and the first two games of the season with a stress reaction in his right shin, and the reigning player of the year wasn't expected to play all three games in the three-day tournament.
