Hansbrough fans come out for Pacers-Bobcats game

Posted Nov 23, 2009
Those familiar No. 50 Tar Heels’ basketball jerseys were back out in full force at Sunday’s game at Time Warner Cable Arena. Tyler Hansbrough, a first-round draft pick by the Indiana Pacers, was back in North Carolina for the first time as a professional as the Pacers took on the Charlotte Bobcats. When he entered the game off the bench with 4:38 left in the first quarter, he was greeted with the largest collective cheer of the night. (Gaston Gazette)
