Heels run away for a change

Posted Mar 20, 2009
Fans watching the UNC-Radford game didn’t have to wait long for Tyler Hansbrough’s record-breaking shot. Appropriately, it was a free throw. Without any prompting from outside sources, the knowledgeable crowd rose to its feet to salute Hansbrough. This wasn’t a great game for Hansbrough by his standards. But Hansbrough still scored 22 points. The biggest story of all-UNC got its personality back-the Tar Heels ran. (WRAL Sports Fan)
