Hansbrough's injury a setback for the Tarheels

Bummer!

HANSBROUGH INJURY SETS UNC BACK • College Hoop Blog: Good 'N Plenty - FOX Sports Blogs

The 6-foot-9 senior big man is out indefinitely with a stress reaction in his right shin.

``We don't know how long it'll be," UNC spokeman Steve Kirschner said. "He's going to have to shut it down for a while."

Hansbrough sat out practice for just the third time in his career, so you know it’s serious if he missed any time on the court.

The folks at North Carolina aren’t saying how long Hansbrough will miss, but it could be a month or so – which could be a significant early hit for everyone’s No. 1 team.

Without Hansbrough and Ginyard, it’s highly unlikely the Tar Heels run the table in Maui and also knock off Michigan State in Detroit. They may even have trouble with Patrick Patterson and Kentucky on Nov. 18 in Chapel Hill.

Sure, the Tar Heels are deep – but not deep enough to lose two starters without missing a beat.

Don’t try and tell me Deon Thompson’s going to be able to stop Luke Harangody if the Tar Heels go up against Notre Dame in the championship game of the Maui Invitational. Freshman Ed Davis is already hurt and isn’t physically ready, anyway. Fellow frosh Tyler Zeller doesn't stand a chance against 'Gody.

You’ve got to feel badly for Psycho T, though, since he decided to return for his senior campaign because, well, he loves college basketball.

Because he would not have been a 1st round pick (most likely). So waiting another year the thought was he'd go higher in the draft, which means more money. But of course you also risk injury like what happened to him now. Hopefully, its not serious.

Spppppppt--val--the fact he's from Kentucky (as noted in his avitar) would clue you in on that!
