Hansbrough: 'It'll be special'

Posted Dec 18, 2008
Tyler Hansbrough said he won't be keeping track of his point total Thursday night as he shoots closer and closer to the school's career scoring record. "But I'll probably know when it happens,'' he deadpanned Wednesday. Indeed, once he reaches his ninth point at the Smith Center — officially passing Phil Ford's record of 2,290 points, set in 1978 — the game will be stopped, and Ford, coach Roy Williams and athletics director Dick Baddour will present Hansbrough with the game ball (Raleigh News & Observer)
