Hansbrough Breaks Record in 91-73 Victory

Posted Dec 19, 2008
When Tyler Hansbrough jogged down the Smith Center court on Thursday, needing just one point to break Phil Ford’s 30-year-old scoring record, the senior standout delivered as he has so many times throughout his career – with an awkwardly effective post move against an Evansville double team. But his stated desire of breaking the record with a 3-ball never came to fruition, instead settling for his trademark shot on the blocks. (Inside Carolina)
