POY Hansbrough going back for senior year

NEWSFLASH!!! There is actually a good underclassman college basketball player that is NOT going to turn pro early.
Given all of the recent early entries into the draft, this is BIG news.
It is bigger news because the player returning for his senior season is the National Player of the Year – Tyler Hansbrough.
Hansbrough averaged 22.6 points and 10.2 rebounds for North Carolina, and he will return to Chapel Hill for his senior season in an effort to win the national championship.
I personally felt this was the Tar Heels year to win the tournament, but they flamed out against Kansas in the national semi-finals.
Hansbrough and the Tar Heels may have a tougher time next season as juniors Wayne Ellington and Ty Lawson declared for the draft and may not be back.
