Tyler Hansbrough takes his shot
Posted Dec 17, 2008
There is little doubt that UNC big man Tyler Hansbrough will set the school record for career points Thursday night. After all, he needs nine to pass Phil Ford, currently atop the list at 2,290, and the senior has posted just six single-digit games in his career. But how will he do it? Wing guard Wayne Ellington figures it will occur on a layup. Forward Danny Green predicts a three-point play. However it occurs, expect a standing ovation from the crowd, which will include Ford.
