Hansbrough's 'free' shots tougher to get

Posted Feb 28, 2009
North Carolina forward Tyler Hansbrough needs to swish seven more free throws to become the NCAA's all-time leader in foul shots made. Conventional wisdom suggests Hansbrough -- whose hard-nosed style has consistently gotten him to the free throw line -- would easily set the record today when the fourth-ranked Tar Heels plays Georgia Tech. But it hasn't been a conventional ACC season for the senior when it comes to hearing the whistle blow. (Raleigh News & Observer)
