Heels expect Hansbrough to work inside more

Posted Jan 13, 2009
With 100 seconds remaining and North Carolina down by four points against Wake Forest on Sunday, Tyler Hansbrough had enough confidence in his outside shot to hoist a 3-pointer from the top of the key. UNC coach Roy Williams thinks such self-assuredness is great, even if Hansbrough's shot bounced off the rim. What Williams doesn't want Hansbrough or the Tar Heels to forget is that the senior center is at his best when he's closer to the basket. (Durham Herald-Sun)
