UNC unanimous pick as preseason favorite

Posted Oct 22, 2007

North Carolina junior Marcus Ginyard has seen all the preseason magazines with his roommate, Tyler Hansbrough, gracing nearly every cover. “Everywhere I look,” Ginyard said, “there’s Tyler staring back at me.” Hansbrough has noticed the publicity too and he’s made sure to grab copies of as many magazines as he can. Not because he’s some narcissistic prima donna but moreso as a family favor. (Fayetteville Observer)
