Tyler Hansbrough has one more shot at title

Posted Apr 3, 2009

Tyler Hansbrough never wanted to dwell on the pressure to lead UNC to a national championship. He tried to ignore the expectations to raise his level of play despite being last season's national player of the year. Though he insists he came back for his senior season because he enjoyed college life and wanted his diploma, there's no denying he desperately wanted another shot at a title. Now he's back in the Final Four. (Seattle Times)
