Hansbrough's Strong Work Ethic: A passion for excellence

Posted Mar 7, 2009
Shortly after 4 p.m. Sunday, Tyler Hansbrough will leave his seat on UNC's bench and take the court at the Smith Center for the last time. When he does, a career that could rank as remarkable, will start to close. In four seasons, Hansbrough has become one of UNC's top players. He isn't the most talented to ever play for the Tar Heels, but he is one of the most decorated and one of the most admired because of his relentless play. (Winston-Salem Journal)
