Hansbrough can do the hustle, and oh so much more

Posted Dec 21, 2008
Tyler Hansbrough hit 9 of 13 shots on his way to 25 points Saturday. More than a few of those points came on outside shots. We saw a lot more of an overall game. "I don't really care what anybody says," he said afterward. "I'm going to play the way I play. People can sit back and say, 'Oh, he just hustles. Anybody can hustle.' I feel like I can shoot jump shots too. But whatever people want to say, I'll just play my game." (Chicago Tribune)
