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. (Buster Sports)
