Tyler Hansbrough is Clutch in UNC's 75-74 Victory in Charlottesville

Posted Feb 13, 2008

Neither Roy Williams nor Tyler Hansbrough knew what to call it, but the power forward’s baby hook shot with 21 seconds left in the game gave the Tar Heels another squeaky road ACC victory with a 75-74 win against Virginia. “We like to think it’s a jump hook but it’s not,” Williams said. “It’s a shotput, jump hook, Hansbrough special, whatever you want to call it…we went to him inside and, needless to say, he delivered for us.” (WRAL.com)
