Tyler Hansbrough hurt as UNC rips Rutgers

Posted Dec 17, 2007

Rutgers coach Freddie Hill had to be as surprised as anyone when he picked up the local paper Sunday and saw inflammatory comments from his junior forward J.R. Inman, who brazenly suggested North Carolina's two-time All-American center Tyler Hansbrough couldn't guard him. Inman, who shot 3-for-14, scored 10 points and had three rebounds, wound up eating those words Sunday night as top-ranked Carolina blew by Rutgers, 93-71. (New York Daily News)
