Tyler's last home game

Posted Monday, March 9, 2009, at 6:19 AM

North Carolina's 79-71 win over Duke was Tyler Hansbrough's final home game Sunday.

You can watch Tyler's post-game speech to the crowd here by clicking on the video at right named 'Senior Night Speeches' or also here.

Also for fun, check out all the Tyler-related material on youtube.

You can read the story by our friend at N&O Robbi Pickeral here.

Here's a few interesting notes from UNC:

Carolina's senior class finished its Smith Center career with a home mark of 57-8, including 44-4 over the last three years, 28-3 over the last two years and 14-1 this season.

Hansbrough scored 1,321 points in 62 games in the Smith Center. He averaged 21.3 points in those 62 home games.

Hansbrough has 2,717 points. He is 53 points from passing Duke's JJ Redick for the ACC record.

The Tar Heels next travel to Atlanta for the ACC Tournament in which they play Friday in the quarterfinal as the top seed.
