Hansbrough gets number retired tonight at UNC

"Indiana Pacers rookie Tyler Hansbrough won't be sitting on a beach sipping on a fruity umbrella drink during the All-Star break.

Tonight, Hansbrough will be in Chapel Hill, N.C., getting his No. 50 jersey retired at the University of North Carolina.

And it just happens to be on the night the Tar Heels play Duke, their biggest rival.

"There's always something about a Duke-Carolina game that brings everybody out," Hansbrough said. "I didn't plan on it like that, but that's how the scheduling worked out. I had some free time. The Duke-Carolina game isn't anything we put emphasis on."

Hansbrough, who becomes the eighth Carolina player to have his jersey retired, is joining the likes of Michael Jordan, James Worthy and Antawn Jamison in the rafters at the Dean Smith Center.

Hansbrough may be returning to Chapel Hill, but don't expect his alter ego "Psycho T" to come out. He won't be showing up on YouTube jumping off the balcony at a fraternity house or playing Texas ping-pong, again.

"Nothing like that," he said, laughing. "My family is going to be there and I've always been the guy that likes seeing my family when I can. I enjoy hanging with the people I know best.""
