Tar Heels get resourceful in win

Posted Feb 13, 2008

Although restrained for much of the second half, Tyler Hansbrough powered his team's 75-74 victory. He went 8-for-10 from the floor in the first 20 minutes, and when UNC had to fend off the Cavaliers, it didn't debate about where to go. Hansbrough's off-balance, jump-hook from the right baseline against the intense defense of Lars Mikalauskas with 21 seconds to go proved to be the difference-maker. (Greensboro News & Record)
