ESPN's college basketball announcers can rejoice. Their favorite son, North Carolina star Tyler Hansbrough, has decided to return for his senior season.
That means we'll be subjected to yet another year of excessive praise for "Psycho T," who plays "every game like it's his last," and "gives 110 percent at all times."
As Bill Raftery says, "Watching Tyler Hansbrough listen is special." That's still the only time I've ever heard a player praised for listening intently to his coach in the huddle.
On the bright side, this means the Bulls will not draft Hansbrough. Think about it: Hansbrough hits the mark for all of GM John Paxson's talking points. He "comes from a winning program." He's a "tireless worker." He's a "high-energy player."
He also has limited upside. Given the choice, I guess I'd rather listen to the ESPN guys suck up to Hansbrough than see him playing for the Bulls.
