Tarheel Nation woke up in shock this morning after hearing the news about Tyler Hansbrough's injury.
The freshman class that Roy Williams has this year is going to have to step up right out of the gate with the loss of Tyler and Marcus Ginyard(out for 6 to 8 weeks). This is a big step back for the Heels but they will overcome it. As long as Tyler is back by the first of January when confernce play begins we should be ok. GO HEELS!!!!!
