Tyler Hansbrough is a thorn in Pack fans' sides
Posted Feb 21, 2008
Tyler Hansbrough ventured into the big red hockey rink beside the big-league freeway last night, and everything came to a screeching halt. The N.C.

They hollered for walking calls, and they hooted when he finally got nailed for one.
