Heels too much for Jackets
Posted Jan 21, 2007
Tyler Hansbrough didn't get to 40 points. But he and his classmates did get to 40 wins -- by making Georgia Tech struggle for every point it got. No. 4 North Carolina forced 21 turnovers and limited the Yellow Jackets to 41.7-percent shooting, cruising to a 77-61. The sophomore class of Hansbrough, Bobby Frasor, Marcus Ginyard, Danny Green and Mike Copeland improved to 40-10 since arriving on campus.
