Tyler Hansbrough does it again

Posted Feb 12, 2009
North Carolina forward Tyler Hansbrough has often said the favorite shot of his career was the 3-pointer that sealed a victory at Duke his freshman year. Now, he may have a new one. With six minutes left Wednesday night, he hit another 3-pointer with time winding down and a Blue Devil in his face to give his team a dozen-point cushion during its eventual 101-87 victory.
