North Carolina to retire Tyler Hansbrough's jersey

Posted Mar 11, 2008

Thanks to the latest in a growing pile of awards, UNC's Tyler Hansbrough will soon join a select group of the storied program's all-time greats. The junior was named national player of the year by Sporting News on Tuesday, ensuring he will become just the eighth Tar Heel to have his number retired. When he leaves school, Hansbrough will join a list that includes Michael Jordan, James Worthy and Phil Ford on the distinguished front row of jerseys hanging in the Smith Center rafters. (USA Today)
