Posted Feb 1, 2009

North Carolina forward Tyler Hansbrough fed off the constant taunts to lead his fifth-ranked team to its fifth straight victory in the series, this time 93-76. His 31 points were the biggest X-factor in a duel that had all the hallmarks of the always-heated rivalry. (Raleigh News & Observer)
