 CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) - Nothing like an airborne elbow and a bloody nose to inject even more energy into one of college basketball's most intense rivalries. The always-ferocious Duke-North Carolina series found a new poster boy — Tyler Hansbrough, who left this game against the Blue Devils with 26 points, 17 rebounds and one bloodied face.
The eighth-ranked Tar Heels beat No. 14 Duke 86-72 on Sunday, but clearly the lasting memory of the game is that of the bloodstained star nicknamed "Psycho T" because of his relentless intensity.
"It's not like a prize fight where you ask what the other guy looked like," North Carolina coach Roy Williams said. "He looked pretty bad."
