Hansbrough, Heels going Sweet

Posted Mar 18, 2007

Twelve minutes, 33 seconds remained in the first half when forward Tyler Hansbrough's mask came off. And so did the Tar Heels' gloves. Led by a season-high 33 points from the tenacious sophomore — who added new meaning to the term "hard-nosed" — top-seeded North Carolina out-defensed, out-rebounded and out-toughed No. 9 seed Michigan State down the stretch to win 81-67 in the second round of the NCAA East Regional.
