Tip to the Heels
Posted Dec 3, 2006
When North Carolina sophomore Tyler Hansbrough had poor shooting performances last season, the Tar Heels struggled. This season, Hansbrough doesn't have to shoulder the entire offensive load, and his 2-for-10 showing from the field didn't hurt the Tar Heels one bit Saturday afternoon. Freshman Wayne Ellington scored 17 points, while Reyshawn Terry and Brandon Wright added 16 each to lead No. 7 North Carolina past Kentucky 75-63 at the Dean Smith Center.
