Heels pass their passing test
Posted Mar 2, 2009
North Carolina was already leading Georgia Tech by 21 points Saturday when forward Tyler Hansbrough scored on a baseline jumper -- after the seventh pass on that possession. Guess last week's emphasis on sharing the ball sunk in. Fourth-ranked UNC recorded 26 assists during its 104-74 blowout at the Smith Center, far better than the measly five assists it managed during its overtime loss at Maryland seven days before.
