Hansbrough leads Tar Heels

Posted Dec 23, 2006

Tyler Hansbrough had 15 points and matched his career best with 13 rebounds, making his homecoming a success as second-ranked North Carolina beat Saint Louis 69-48 last night. "It's a lot of pressure on a youngster to come back home and have half the town up here from Poplar Bluff," Coach Roy Williams said. "Everybody expected him to score 80 and get every rebound and shut out his man." (Winston-Salem Journal)
