Tar Heels Down NC State, 93-76
Posted Feb 1, 2009
In the silence just before the national anthem, a North Carolina State fan let reigning national player of the year Tyler Hansbrough know what he thought of him. "I hate you Tyler!" he screamed loudly enough for everyone on the RBC Center court to hear. Apparently, the feeling is mutual. Hansbrough scored 31 points for his second straight big game here to help No. 5 North Carolina beat the Wolfpack 93-76 on Saturday, the Tar Heels' fifth straight win.
