The awards keep rolling in for North Carolina’s Tyler Hansbrough. Hansbrough, the 6-9 junior, received the Rupp Award, a national player of the year honor named for former Kentucky coach Adolph Rupp, yesterday. It comes in the same week Hansbrough was voted an unanimous first-team All-America choice The Associated Press. He already has been named national player of the year by Sporting News and Sports Illustrated.
