Hansbrough, Heels hang on in overtime

Associated Press The Spokesman-Review

Florida State had a miracle shot Sunday. North Carolina still had Tyler Hansbrough.

The junior forward had 22 points and a career-high 21 rebounds to lift the fourth-ranked Tar Heels to an 84-73 overtime victory over the Seminoles in Tallahassee, Fla.

North Carolina (21-1, 6-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) shook off an unlikely 3-pointer by Florida State’s Ryan Reid with 8.1 seconds left that sent the game into overtime.

North Carolina’s Danny Green had a three-point play with 2:53 left in the overtime that ignited a 10-2 run that doomed the Seminoles (13-10, 2-6).

Hansbrough, the ACC’s leading scorer and rebounder, was held without a field goal until 9:43 remained in the game. He was just 5 of 14 from the field, but was 10 of 12 at the free throw line.

(11) Indiana 75, Northwestern 63: At Bloomington, Ind., Eric Gordon scored 29 points and D.J. White added 26 as the Hoosiers pulled away in the closing minutes to beat the Wildcats (7-12, 0-8 Big Ten).

It was Indiana’s (18-3, 7-1) 35th straight win at home against the Wildcats since 1968.

(13) Wisconsin 63, Minnesota 47: At Minneapolis, Trevon Hughes had 20 points and six steals to lead the Badgers (18-3, 8-1 Big Ten) past the Gophers (13-7, 3-5).

Marcus Landry and Brian Butch each added 11 points for the Badgers, who won for the 12th time in 13 games.
