Hansbrough just keeps on working

Posted Jan 22, 2007

If Georgia Tech learned anything on Saturday night it likely came to the conclusion that Tyler Hansbrough is one tough cookie. Hansbrough was a force in North Carolina's 77-61 victory scoring 24 points in a gritty response to Tech's physical defense. The 6-foot-9 preseason All-American drew eight shooting fouls - two intentional and a few others that almost were - and made 14 of 15 shots from the charity stripe. (Wilmington Star News)
