Andrew Tyler Hansbrough (born November 3 1985 in Columbia, Missouri), is an American collegiate basketball player for the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill men's basketball team. Hansbrough was a member of the 2006 and 2007 Atlantic Coast Conference All Conference Team and the 2006 ACC Freshman of the Year.

Collegiate career

Freshman season

Tyler Hansbrough led the University of North Carolina in scoring with an average of 18.9 points per game. He was second in the ACC in scoring behind J. J. Redick of Duke. Additionally, Hansbrough was unanimously selected as the 2006 ACC Freshman of the Year and was also a unanimous selection to the 2006 All Conference Team. He was second to Redick in voting for the ACC Player of the Year award. Hansbrough’s most memorable game as a freshman came on February 15, 2006 when he scored 40 points in a home game against Georgia Tech. This mark set the record for most points ever scored by a freshman in a game in ACC history and for the most points scored in the Dean Smith Center (the previous high had been 38 points by Joseph Forte in 2000 vs. Tulsa).

Sophomore season

With the University of North Carolina signing what was considered by many publications to be the best recruiting class in the country in 2006, Tyler Hansbrough’s minutes per game took a slight drop but he was just as productive as he was during his freshman season. At the end of the regular season, Hansbrough was averaging 18.8 points per game along with 8.0 rebounds per game.

During the March 4, 2007 matchup with Duke University, Hansbrough scored 26 points and grabbed 17 rebounds while leading the Tar Heels to an 86-72 victory. With 14.5 seconds remaing in the game, Duke's Gerald Henderson, Jr. crashed into Hansbrough and hit Hansbrough in the face with his right elbow, breaking Hansbrough's nose. Henderson was ejected from the game and received an automatic one-game suspension for a flagrant foul from the NCAA. Hansbrough went on to play with a nose-guard/face mask through the postseason, before taking it off in the second half of a game against Michigan State, in the second round of the NCAA tournament.

On April 10, 2007 at Carolina's annual basketball banquet Tyler, along with Freshman point guard Ty Lawson, announced their return for the 2007-2008 season.
