Tuesday Talking Points

Dec. 4, 2007

By Adam Lucas

Bobby Frasor is shooting 60 percent from the field (53.8% from the three-point line) in five games with Ty Lawson playing normal minutes and 0-9 from the field (0-7 from the three-point line) in the two games Carolina has played without Lawson.

Tyler Hansbrough has back-to-back double-digit rebounding games (and back-to-back double-doubles) for the second time in his Carolina career. Hansbrough has never had three straight of either performance. The only other occurrence happened at the close of last regular season against Georgia Tech and Duke.

Saturday's win over Kentucky was just the second time this season that Tyler Hansbrough was not Carolina's first- or second-leading scorer. During his 76-game career, there have been just 18 games in which Hansbrough was not in Carolina's top two in scoring. The Tar Heels have won 17 of those 18 games.

Danny Green has come off the bench in every game this season but is currently averaging 13.3 points per game. He would be just the second Carolina non-starter since 1994 to average double-figure scoring; Marvin Williams did it during the 2004-05 season.

Green is also in exclusive company with his 20.7 minutes per game. Since minutes have been charted (1985), the only non-starter to average more minutes is Marvin Williams in 2005--the freshman played 22.2 minutes for the national champions.
