No. 5 Tar Heels Rout Cavaliers for First ACC Win

Posted Jan 16, 2009
North Carolina's struggles appear to be over, and a return to basics with a big dose of Tyler Hansbrough and Ty Lawson made it look easy again. Hansbrough scored 28 points, Lawson had 19 with nine assists, and the No. 5 Tar Heels beat Virginia 83-61 Thursday night to snap a surprising two-game losing streak in the ACC. "It feels real good," Hansbrough said. "We've all been trying to get everything straight within the team and I think it was just us coming together." (Tar Heel Blue)
