Heels Ring in '09 Victoriously
Posted Jan 2, 2009
North Carolina ended the 2008 calendar year in “The Biggest Little City in the World,” putting the final touches on an 84-61 victory over Nevada just as the East Coast was celebrating the New Year late Wednesday night. Tyler Hansbrough led the Tar Heels with 22 points, while Wayne Ellington added 15 points and Ty Lawson contributed 11 points and seven assists. But Nevada provided a tough defensive opponent with a liking for a slow tempo.
