No. 3 Tar Heels Beat Wolfpack 89-80

Posted Feb 19, 2009

Sure, Tyler Hansbrough and the third-ranked Tar Heels had little trouble outscoring North Carolina State in an 89-80 win on Wednesday night. But as they enter the final weeks of the regular season, they are still showing their up-and-down ways on defense. (ACC Sports Journal)
