Hansbrough comes to Ellington's aid
Posted Dec 5, 2007

So with Wayne Ellington facing the same expectations against Penn on Tuesday, the UNC forward took some of the stress off of him. Hansbrough's 29 points and 10 rebounds were enough to overcome a sometimes-choppy defensive performance during the Tar Heels' 106-71 victory.
