Hardin: No stopping big man in the middle
Posted Feb 25, 2008
Tyler Hansbrough lifted North Carolina up and tossed Wake Forest aside Sunday night, moving the Heels into first place in the ACC and Wake into the murky middle along with all the other teams Hansbrough has tossed aside this season. In another classic performance in the midst of one of the great personal runs in league history, Hansbrough scored 29 points to carry Carolina to an 89-73 victory over the Deacons.
