Other UNC-State observations

Posted Feb 20, 2009
Tyler Hansbrough passed Phil Ford to become the Tar Heels' all-time leader in career field goals (with 867). His seven made free throws improve his career total to 896, moving him past LSU's Pete Maravich into second in NCAA history. He needs nine more to become the all-time leader. Hansbrough now stands just 59 rebounds shy of Sam Perkins' career school record and he needs 131 more points to beat out Duke's J.J. Redick as the most prolific scorer in ACC history.
