Hokies Hansbroughed out of Atlanta
Posted Mar 14, 2009
It took 24 hours, but the ACC Tournament started. After a dreary first day in an empty building, UNC beat Virginia Tech in a good, old-fashioned postseason basketball game. Tyler Hansbrough's layup and then defensive tie-up with J.T. Thompson in the final 36 seconds gave the Heels a 79-76 win over the Hokies in the quarterfinals of the ACC Tournament. Hansbrough finished with 28 points.
