Hansbrough delivers again in the clutch

Posted Feb 13, 2008

Two-point lead, mammoth possession, shot clock winding down, home crowd going nuts, game on the line. Who you gonna call? Rimbusters? Uh-uh. Tyler Hansbrough. And no one else need apply. That sucker really won this 75-74 decision over Virginia. He dominated the first half to give UNC a lead it never quite lost. And he sank the killing basket. (Richmond Times-Dispatch)
