Hansbrough Nears History; Be There In Person

With Tyler Hansbrough's 26-point performance against Oral Roberts on Saturday night in the Smith Center, the Tar Heel senior is just nine points from breaking Phil Ford's UNC all-time scoring record. Because students will be on break for the next home game against Evansville on Thursday at 7 p.m., fans have a very special opportunity: the chance to witness history in person.
A limited number of tickets for the Evansville game remain and can be purchased online now. If Hansbrough is able to set the record, significant ceremonies are planned that you'll want to see in person--and talk about until the next once-in-a-generation Tar Heel comes along.
