Hansbrough could be Cats' nemesis again

Posted Jan 27, 2007

Tyler Hansbrough has played in 51 games - starting 50 - but deep down, he still finds it good to play as if it were his first game. Never mind that he felt comfortable in a North Carolina jersey from the first exhibition game of his freshman season. "I kind of like going in and not knowing what to expect," he said in preparation for the 11 a.m. game today against Arizona. "It makes you play a little better." That's all Arizona needs to hear.
