Heels thrash Oregon

Posted Nov 26, 2008
The last two North Carolina teams to win the Maui Invitational have gone on to advance to the Final Four. With Tyler Hansbrough back in the lineup, it looks as if the top-ranked Tar Heels could repeat both feats, again. Technically, Carolina didn’t need Hansbrough’s 16 points or four rebounds to blow out Oregon 98-69 in the eight-team tournament’s semifinals Tuesday night at Lahaina Civic Center.
