UNC Says Hansbrough’s Shins Are Fine
Posted Feb 19, 2009
Buster Sports reported on Wednesday that, according to a source close to the North Carolina basketball program, senior forward Tyler Hansbrough was playing “around 80 percent” of full strength because of a recurring shin injury. On Wednesday night, moments after UNC defeated N.C. State at the Smith Center, UNC Associate Athletic Director Steve Kirschner said the 80 percent figure was untrue.
