Tar Heels fend off Bulldogs

Posted Jan 10, 2008

Tyler Hansbrough went last night where others feared to go, delivering two baskets that helped North Carolina outlast determined UNC Asheville 93-81 at the Smith Center. Hansbrough, North Carolina’s All-America center, dunked over Kenny George, UNC Asheville’s 7-7, 360-pound center, early in the second half to spark an 18-point lead after George made going into the lane a risk for anyone.
