Will Tar Heels pay price in long run?

Posted Jan 14, 2009
Tyler Hansbrough isn't necessarily the ACC player of the year for 2008-09. It could happen. Maybe it's likely to happen. But it's not guaranteed, not if Wake Forest's Jeff Teague can play the way he did against UNC on a consistent basis or Duke's Gerald Henderson can build on his outing against Florida State. Teague scored 34 points against the Tar Heels on Sunday and looked like the best player on the court. (Durham Herald-Sun)
