Hansbrough leads Tar Heels to 85-63 win
Posted Dec 21, 2008
It took Tyler Hansbrough nearly nine minutes to get his first basket Saturday. Once he did, top-ranked North Carolina started playing the way it has all season. Hansbrough finished with 25 points and the Tar Heels shook off a sluggish start to beat Valparaiso 85-63 at the United Center. "I was just moving better," Hansbrough said. "I wasn't trying to force it early. I kept moving and eventually I got to spots and got the ball and made some shots."
