Spare MVP keeps Heels rolling
Posted Mar 14, 2009
Not that Ty Lawson’s absence was overly problematic for the Tar Heels, who retained sufficient talent, experience, and poise to improve to subdue No. 8 Virginia Tech, 79-76. Most important, they had the ACC’s true MVP, Tyler Hansbrough, who predictably rose to the occasion with 28 points, 8 rebounds, and perfect 10-for-10 foul shooting. Hansbrough scored at least 20 points for the 75th time in his career, an ACC record.
