One vote for Tyler Hansbrough for player of the year

Posted Mar 7, 2008

Michael Beasley is not getting my vote for national college basketball player of the year. Like it or not, that honor should go to North Carolina's Tyler Hansbrough. The 6-9, 250-pound junior forward from Poplar Bluff, Mo., has earned the nickname "Psycho-T" for his intensity. When the comparisons are close, it is OK to vote not just for the best player, but to vote for the best player who makes his team one of the best. (Dallas Morning News)
