Tyler Time: Hansbrough willed Tar Heels to a victory

Posted Mar 30, 2008

Late last night the Tar Heels threatened to hit history’s rewind button, their short-armed jump shots and persistent fouls dredging up memories of Georgetown and the messy collapse last March. Tyler Hansbrough would have none of that. Everybody’s All-America wanted nobody else taking the fall against Louisville. He took the ball, took the shots and took Carolina to the Final Four, scoring 28 points in an 83-73 victory. (Winston-Salem Journal)
