UNC unleashes the beast

Posted Nov 19, 2007

As he sped down the left wing and jammed home a rim-rattling, crowd-inciting, one-handed dunk Sunday night, Tyler Hansbrough didn't even notice Iona guard De'Shaune Griffin -- until he stepped over the would-be defender en route to a jumping, pumping, bumping celebration. "I think I asserted myself a little better this game," Hansbrough said after his top-ranked team blew out the Gaels 107-72 at the Smith Center. (Raleigh News & Observer)
