Phil Ford to be on hand to watch Hansbrough

Posted Dec 18, 2008
Tyler Hansbrough can't remember the first points he scored at North Carolina. But it seems unlikely that he'll forget the ninth point, provided he matches his average, he scores when UNC plays Evansville at 7 p.m. today at the Smith Center. Nine points are all that Hansbrough, a 6-9 senior who averages 22.8 points, needs to surpass Phil Ford as the Tar Heels' career scoring lead. (Winston-Salem Journal)
