reaction but there is not a fracture" coach Roy Williams announced today in a press release.

There is a great possibility that we will hold Tyler out of practice for the next two weeks" then re-evaluate his condition at that time.

""Of course we are all disappointed for Tyler and our team"" but everybody on the roster has a chance to do a little more and play a little better to help make up for the loss of the national player of the year.""

Hansbrough did not miss a single practice his freshman and sophomore seasons and only one his junior year. That came the night after he played 47 minutes in a double overtime win against Clemson" a game in which he played with an infected toe on his right foot.
