EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) - Tyler Hansbrough can appear so focused on the court, he seems downright possessed. Easy to see why he earned the nickname "Psycho T" even before he got bloodied by a broken nose. That's why it looked so strange to see him standing out on the wing, swishing 3-pointers and dribbling between his legs. And laughing.
"Tyler is always going to play an aggressive game of basketball," North Carolina coach Roy Williams said Thursday.
A beast under the bucket, Hansbrough and the top-seeded Tar Heels hope their bulk in the low blocks more than offsets Nick Young and Southern California's 3-point shooting in their East Regional semifinal Friday night.
