Hansbrough 'extremely doubtful' to face Penn

 

The Penn basketball team might be facing the unanimous No. 1 team in the nation this Saturday, but at least the chances that they'll face North Carolina's best player are quite slim.

Senior Tyler Hansbrough, who decided to stay in school for his final season instead of declaring for the NBA draft, has been limited due to a stress reaction in his right shin. In fact, he hasn't practiced in two weeks. And according to coach Roy Williams, "It's extremely doubtful that he would play against Pennsylvania, and I emphasize extremely doubtful."

(Hey, at least he didn't call us Penn State.)

The reigning National Player of the Year has 48 points and 15 rebounds in two career games against the Quakers.

The Tar Heels also are without guard Marcus Ginyard, one of their best defenders.
