Tyler Hansbrough Bounces Back

Posted Feb 19, 2009
For the second time this season, N.C. State provided the cure to what’s ailing Tyler Hansbrough. After scoring just eight points on Sunday, the All-American rebounded on Wednesday, scoring 20 of his 27 points in the second half to lead No. 3 North Carolina past the Wolfpack, 89-80. Hansbrough dominated N.C. State with a 31-point, six-rebound outing in Raleigh on Jan. 31. Different venue, similar results. (Inside Carolina)
