Charlotte Bobcats assistant coach Phil Ford will attend North Carolina's game against Evansville, when Tyler Hansbrough is expected to break his three-decades old scoring record, Ford told The Charlotte Observer on Monday evening. Hansbrough needs nine points to set the new scoring mark; Ford scored 2,290 points from 1974-78. Ford has said it's an honor to be compared to Hansbrough, a UNC senior forward.
