Tyler Hansbrough leads No. 1 UNC past Notre Dame 102-87
Posted Nov 27, 2008
Tyler Hansbrough looked like his old self and North Carolina looked like the unanimous No. 1. The reigning national player of the year who had played in only two games this season because of leg injuries, Hansbrough had 34 points to lead the top-ranked Tar Heels to a 102-87 victory over No. 8 Notre Dame on Wednesday night in the championship game of the EA Sports Maui Invitational. The title was their third in the 25 years of the tournament, second only to Duke's four.
