Zeller’s Return Comes At Perfect Time

Posted Feb 18, 2009
North Carolina senior forward Tyler Hansbrough hasn’t exactly been himself of late. His numbers have dipped to where he has scored fewer than 20 points in UNC’s last three contests and failed to reach double figures twice in Carolina’s last six games. That is why the news Tuesday that 7-foot freshman Tyler Zeller likely will suit up and play tonight against N.C. State at the Smith Center is a terrific addition for the Tar Heels. (Buster Sports)
