Heels pick up first ACC win of season

Posted Jan 16, 2009
The boos that seemed to be the soundtrack of Tyler Hansbrough's junior season returned Thursday. Just about every time UNC's senior center got the ball in the Tar Heels' 83-61 victory over Virginia, the Cavaliers' fans responded with jeers. They were upset with the fouls Hansbrough was drawing. They were angry with the traveling calls Hansbrough wasn't being whistled for. And maybe they didn't like Hansbrough's new haircut. (Durham Herald-Sun)
