On Phil's Heels: Tyler Hansbrough is nine points from breaking Phil Ford's scoring record
Posted Dec 17, 2008
One of the most prestigious individual records in North Carolina basketball history most likely will change hands Thursday. And the man about to lose it, Phil Ford, said he won't be sad when he is no longer the Tar Heels' career scoring leader. UNC will play Evansville at 7 p.m. in Chapel Hill in a game that is no longer an ordinary December match-up. Tyler Hansbrough needs nine points to surpass Ford's mark of 2,290 points, set during the 1977-78 season.
