Stepping Up: Hansbrough, Terry provide needed lift

Posted Mar 12, 2007

Tyler Hansbrough will pack his clear plastic mask or a revised model with wider eye holes, but he quite likely will not wear anything to protect his broken nose. Dr. Tim Taft, the team's orthopedic specialist, expects to order a modified version from the university hospital. "Our hope is that next week he will play without it," Taft said. "We may well protect him in practice and let him play without it." (Winston-Salem Journal)
