Posted Feb 1, 2009
Just before the national anthem, a particularly boistrous N.C. State fan broke the silence at the RBC Center by screaming "I hate you Tyler!" Now the Wolfpack abhors him even more. 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)
