http://msn.foxsports.com/cbk/story/8739648/UNC's-Hansbrough-out;-no-timetable-for-return?MSNHPHMA North Carolina senior Tyler Hansbrough, the reigning national Player of the Year, is out indefinitely with a stress reaction in his right shin. Must-read:Martin: Tech is a match for Texas Perry: The Phillies' winning formula Must-see:Marvez Minute on Brett Favre Phillies beat Rays to win World Series View more videos >>Top headlines:UNC's Hansbrough out indefinitely Isiah incident report: Details emerge Brewers hire ex-A's skip Macha All of today's top stories >>Worth a thousand words:Phantastic Phinish in Philly Celtics raise 17th title banner Best of Week 9 in college football View more photos >>The school put out a release on Thursday. Hansbrough, who averaged 22.6 points and 10.2 rebounds last season, did not practice on Thursday and an MRI revealed the stress reaction. There is no timetable for his return. "We don't know how long it'll be," UNC spokeman Steve Kirschner told FOXSports.com. "He's going to have to shut it down for a while." North Carolina is the consensus No. 1 team in the country and was voted the unanimous top team in the coaches' poll that was released earlier Thursday. Hansbrough played in all 108 games during his previous three seasons at North Carolina, and has two weeks to heal before the Nov. 15 season opener against Pennsylvania if he is to keep that streak intact. He is the first AP player of the year to return to school since LSU's Shaquille O'Neal in 1991, and probably the biggest name to skip the draft and play a fourth season in college since Tim Duncan returned to Wake Forest a decade ago. Hansbrough led North Carolina to a school-record 36 wins, its second straight Atlantic Coast Conference tournament title and its first Final Four since 2005. He begins his senior season 122 points behind Phil Ford's 30-year-old school scoring record of 2,290 points, and is within reach of the ACC's scoring record of 2,769 set by Duke's J.J. Redick in 2006. |

...i do think its a shame...i have a tremendous amount of respect for Hansbrough...he is the epitome of a true college basketball player...there should be more like him and oh what i wouldn't give to have one like him at IU (hopefully we will with Pritchard)... ...i sincerely do wish him well and a fast recovery... |

If it was year-ending or career-ending, I'd be a little more sympathetic. I just thought after last year, I'd never have to hear his name again. I just dont know if I can take another year of the constant Hansbrough media gang bang... |

Stay classy guys. |

“He’s always been a guy — maybe to a fault — he would always try to do what I said. That seems like something simple in coaching, but those are the guys I hang my hat on. We’ve had some guys in our program, we had a couple guys that felt I had a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. And they were right — I do have a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. I like guys that go to class, that are academic All-Americans, that come early, that stay late, that love the game of basketball. I am biased towards those guys. And I’m biased towards Rob Hummel. But I’m also biased towards their habits, their work ethic, and how they carry themselves." "I’d take him to the ends of the earth — I’d want him playing for me.” - Bo Ryan on Robbie Hummel

Hansbrough is a beast, and you have to love it when a kid decides to stay in school longer. That said, it will be hilarious if someone knocks them off early in the tourney. |

I also hate to see a player of Hansbrough's stature get hurt at this point in his career...after staying in college. Hopefully, he will be ready come conference season. |
