Posted Dec 14, 2008
Tyler Hansbrough had 26 points and nine rebounds to help top-ranked North Carolina beat Oral Roberts 100-84 on Saturday. Deon Thompson added 22 points for the Tar Heels (9-0), who had no trouble in their first game following a 10-day exam break. North Carolina shot 59 percent to take a 20-point halftime lead and was never seriously threatened from there in yet another lopsided victory to start the season.
