Timeout with Tyler: Hansbrough is no fan of flying

Posted Mar 27, 2008

He has played down the advantage of playing the first two weekends of the NCAA Tournament in-state, but Tyler Hansbrough is grateful the team has been able to travel by bus. "I can't stand flying; it plays with my mind," said Hansbrough, who also dislikes being in elevators. If the Tar Heels beat Washington State tonight and on Saturday get past the Tennessee-Louisville winner, Hansbrough will get on a flight to the Final Four in San Antonio but be glad when it lands.
