North Carolina Coach Roy Williams made it official at a Monday afternoon news conference: All-American center Tyler Hansbrough will not play against Kentucky in Tuesday night’s game.
Hansbrough has been sitting out more than two weeks because of a stress reaction in his right shin. Without rest, a stress fracture could develop.
Williams has repeatedly noted that UNC will use a conservative approach on Hansbrough’s return, erring on the side of caution.
The Tar Heels started two high-profile freshmen in their opening game against Penn last Saturday. Tyler Zeller, once a recruiting target of Kentucky’s, started and scored 18 points.
Ed Davis came off the bench and contributed a double-double: 10 points and 14 rebounds.

I have been a ie Hard U.K. Fan for 50 years and the last two years are the only time I have ever been ashamed to wear blue and white. Even Tubby had a better program. We are great exceptwe can’t shoot,defend,or get on the boards. How much more time does Billy Have?
