Crothers: Another Day At The Office For Hansbrough

Posted Dec 19, 2008
Tyler Hansbrough showed how his game has evolved over the last four years when his first three baskets occurred on mid-range jumpers. Then at the 7:41 mark of the first half, Hansbrough received the ball on the block, spun into the lane with defenders hanging all over him and sank a bank shot, his arms and legs akimbo, the quintessential Hansbrough bucket. His 2,291st point broke Phil Ford’s hallowed UNC scoring record. (ACC Sports Journal)
