Tyler Hansbrough in elite company

Posted Mar 11, 2008

Tyler Hansbrough was named to the all-ACC first team for the third straight season. And, perhaps more impressive, a panel of 90 sports writers and broadcasters selected Hansbrough unanimously for the third time in as many seasons. The only other players to receive that honor? Duke forward Art Heyman (1961-63) and N.C. State center David Thompson (1973-75). Elite company, to say the least. (Rocky Mount Telegram)
