Hansbrough at the center of UNC's title ambitions

Posted Mar 14, 2008

On Tyler Hansbrough's walk from the North Carolina locker room to the basketball court at the Dean E. Smith Center, a path he follows even on most off days, he passes a montage of photographs celebrating the program's most recent NCAA championship. These photos reflect a glorious time in Tar Heels history, when Roy Williams and Sean May ruled at the 2005 Final Four, and they're filled with smiles, emphatic gestures and teammates embracing one another.
