Tyler Hansbrough on hoops, cooking and fishing
Posted Mar 6, 2009
Tyler Hansbrough grew up in Poplar Bluff, Mo., but his dream was to be a Tar Heel. "I remember in the back yard when I was 6 or 8. I acted like I was playing for North Carolina in the Final Four or something like that and being the star." From those backyard dreams, Tyler Hansbrough has become one of the most decorated Tar Heels in school history. Next season, his number 50 will join seven retired jerseys.
