CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -

Reigning national player of the year Tyler Hansbrough has broken the career scoring record at North
Carolina.
The 6-foot-9 senior needed nine points in the top-ranked Tar
Heels' game against Evansville on Thursday night to pass Phil Ford
for the record. He tied Ford on a jumper from the left wing with
14:05 left, then set the mark by banking in a turnaround shot with
7:41 left in the first half.
After the record-setting point, officials briefly stopped the
game to allow Ford, coach Roy Williams and athletics director Dick
Baddour to present Hansbrough with the game ball.
Ford finished his career in 1978 with 2,290 points
