Hansbrough gets the 'least most important record'
Posted Dec 21, 2008
These two men share other qualities as well. Both are among the most competitive to wear a Carolina uniform, and few who have played here were tougher. Phil Ford once dribbled up to the bench during a game and handed his coaches a tooth knocked loose from his mouth just moments before. Then he proceeded to finish playing the game. Tyler Hansbrough has taken the worst beating of any collegiate player I have personally ever witnessed.
