Virginia Tech suffers death by Hansbrough
Posted Mar 14, 2009
Death by Hansbrough. Once again, that was the fate of Virginia Tech's NCAA tournament hopes Friday. A year after beating the Hokies on a last-second shot, Tyler Hansbrough stunned them again by tying up J.T. Thompson with 5.2 seconds left, awarding North Carolina the ball and a chance to hold on for a 79-76 win. Was it a foul? Or another ferocious hustle play by "Psycho T?" Tech coach Seth Greenberg refused to bite.
