Hansbrough Sets Record; Heels Roll

Posted Mar 20, 2009
Tyler Hansbrough needed just four minutes and 17 seconds to set the ACC scoring record, and he accomplished that lofty goal in fitting fashion – at the free throw line. The four-time All-American scored 22 points in UNC's 101-58 victory over Radford in Thursday’s NCAA opener. “It means a lot --I look back and think of all the players that I've watched when I was young, and for me to top all of the scorers in that league, it's special."
