Hansbrough saves Heels from another collapse

Posted Mar 30, 2008

Tyler Hansbrough's final basket against Louisville is the only play you need to see if you missed North Carolina's Elite Eight win over Louisville. He pumped once and watched Earl Clark fly by. Then Hansbrough settled and fired a jumper as he fell to the ground with David Padgett in pursuit. By the time his backside hit the ground, the ball was ripping the net. That is a how a player of the year gets it done when a Final Four trip is on the line. (Sporting News)
