Turnaround to test worn-out Heels

Posted Feb 12, 2008

Tyler Hansbrough's exhausting effort helped UNC overcome a 15-point, second-half deficit to defeat Clemson 103-93 in double overtime at the Smith Center. His reward was a trip on a bus scheduled to depart for Virginia after practice Monday. Forty-seven hours after the win against Clemson ended, North Carolina will tip off with a wounded, worn-out team on the road against the Cavaliers (11-11, 1-8 ACC) at 8 p.m. today.
