GREENSBORO, N.C. -- Oh, don't you just hate him? Tyler Hansbrough broke the Atlantic Coast Conference career scoring record Thursday, appropriately hitting a free throw after another team nearly dislodged his face. And you know what the lout did when the crowd, lathered in Carolina blue, stood as one and gave him a loud, warm, lengthy standing ovation?

He thought about the opponent, Radford, and how the Highlanders from the Big South Conference were making only their second NCAA tournament appearance. Seems Hansbrough didn't want to demean them in any way by acknowledging his accomplishment. What a complete jerk, huh? Kind of guy you wouldn't want even Cruella de Vil to marry.
