CThr Dailii (Tor Hrrl Hansbrough more than just ‘Psycho T’ for short BY JESSE BAUMGARTNER SENIOR WRITER Whether he likes it or not, Ty ler Hansbrough has cemented his “Psycho TANARUS" image during his three years in Chapel Hill. The nickname seems to follow him everywhere, from TV broadcasts to T-shirts (albeit illegal ones). But it turns out Hansbrough has had his share of attempted nick names. including a few unpopular ones. ‘There were some things that I can't real ly think of, that I’ve told people just, ‘Don’t ever call me that J§ again,'" Hansbrough said Tuesday before mentioning a few he fre quently hears. “My roommates call me bipolar sometimes, and on my recruiting visit I told Melvin Scott to call me T-Bone." Quentin Thomas threw out “Wow,” as a current one he uses because of Hansbrough's latest performances. And then there’s Wayne Ellington, who has his own take on just what name the big man should respond to. “Some people call him Psycho T on our team, some T-Bone I call him Teezy. I’ve always called him Teezy because he calls me Weezy." Taking a beatdown Hansbrough might have a funny nickname in Psycho T. but it’s defi nitely well-deserved. And there might not be any play er more familiar with the Player of the Year’s phvsicality than walk-on senior forward Surry Wood, who goes against Hansbrough even’ day in practice. “Every day, day after day after day, going out there, Surry Wood and Patrick Moody have just been getting killed." coach Roy Williams said. “I mean TYler Hansbrough and Alex Stepheson have been rat a-tat-tatting their heads everyday." Balmer and Mapp put on stage BY GABE HIATT SENIOR WRITER After almost a month of antici pation and with just a few weeks until April 26’s NFL draft, former UNC standouts Durrell Mapp and Kentwan Balmer worked out for scouts Tbesdav in the Eddie Smith Field House. Balmer and Mapp both chose to forego Pro Timing Day on March 4 to take time and rest hamstring injuries after participating in the NFL Scouting Combine toward the end of February. The players were joined by team mates Hilee Taylor and Kyndraus Guy, who attended the first Pro Timing Day but wanted to get more exposure with the scouts. The day’s activities were similar to those in March, as the would-be draft picks ran through 40-yard dashes, cone shuttle drills and a variety of position-specific skills implemented for a group consist ing mostly of defensive linemen. “They want to test flexibility and change of direction things like that,’ Balmer said. “They want to see ever)- aspect of your play." Carolina Panthers defensive line coach Sal Sunseri ran the players through an intense gamut of drills, rarely offering rest. He provided a glimpse of life in the NFL with a gruff demeanor, lacking sympathy for the players who couldn’t keep the pace. “They try to test you to see how mentally tough you are and see if you’ll give up," said Taylor, who along with Guy only participated in the position drills. Through these drills Balmer proved why most experts proj- Stir Satlii (Jar lirri Internships SUMMER INTERNSHIPS Want to build you" resume? Up lot a chaAnge? Hiring motivated students in aB mayors.

UfVnyi DTH FILE/SAM WARD North Carolina's Tyler Hansbrough celebrates after hitting the game winning bucket in UNC's ACC Tournament victory against Virginia Tech. When notified of Williams’ response, Hansbrough couldn’t help but agree with how he treats his teammate. “I would say daily," he said. “Surry is definitely taking his beatings from me —and A1 he’ll show you some bruises. ... It’s Surrey's job. He’s there push ing us even- day, and he definitely doesn't hold anything back him self, and he’s always been good for us." Watching from the bench Junior Bobby Frasor has had to witness the team’s Final Four run from the sideline this season after tearing his ACL earlier in the sea son. But his teammates say he is still a major part of the squad. “I wish he was here with us, and .

His preparation was evident from just a glance. “A lot of people said they’ve seen a change in my body," said a leaner Balmer. “I’m starting to change my diet because that plavs a big role in the NFL’ His extra effort was visible in agility drills, where he moved with good quickness and burst. Perhaps most importantly, Balmer showed superior hand speed —a must for defensive tackles in the NFL. The only negative in his per formance came during his second attempt at the 40, when he pulled up short, citing the nagging hamstring. Mapp was still hamstrung as well. | Roommates FEMALE LOOKING FOR 2 ROOMMATES for 2009-2009 school year Wa* to campus 3BR. 2BA apartmant on Hillsborough Street s29(Ymo ♦utilities Email kcreemOlive com for more information Rooms SUMMER ROOM SS2STMO Ist or 2nd summer session or aB summer Superb Canboro location, dishwasher W/D. private bath, great neighbors yard, nice kitchen. on bushne AB banished t> caps your room) 336-391-5652 Sublets SUMMER SUBLET SURER CLOSE TO CAMPUS.

But at the same time 1 don’t think we have to make Bobby feel like he's part of it," Hansbrough said. “Someone mentioned (he's) like an assistant coach in practice he's always talking, so we always know he’s there.... He's definitely a part of this.” UNC’s point guards are probably the players who benefit most from Frasor on the bench, where he can use his analysis to suggest potential adjustments. “Bobby will walk up to me and tell me to run a particular play dur ing a game, and I'll run it,"Thomas said. ‘I listen to him because he knows what he's talking about."

But he still performed well in agility drills, receiving some positive feedback from scouts. “It went OK.* Mapp said. “It could have been better." Mapp’s agent Jeremy Sanders of Capstone Sports Group, attended the workout to support his client and try to get an idea of Mapp’s draft prospects. “At each level (Mapp) has com peted; he met the challenge," Sanders said. “Wherever he's taken in the draft, he’s going to excel at the next level."

Another rookie pitcher, Nate Striz was erratic in the ninth, loading the bases and putting the go-ahead run at the plate before finishing the 4-1 Tar Heel victors against UNC- Greensboro with a strikeout In between, the UNC bullpen more than held the Spartans in check, as all the Tar Heel hurlers combined BASEBALL UNC-G 1 UNC 4 time UNC has rung up at least 10 batters this season. Five of those strikeouts came from reliever Rob Wooten, who retired all six batters he faced. But Wooten knows he only has to do one thing get guys out. “My job is to limit the contact of the hitter." Wooten said. “Not many pitchers go up there with it in their mind, ‘Man. I want to strike some body out.' But at the same time, if I'm doing what I want to, if they do it. then it will be soft contact and the defense can make a play." Third baseman Chad Flack con tinued to produce for the Tar Heels (22-5), hitting his fifth home run of the season his fourth in the last nine games and 40th of his career.

UNC threatened in the sixth inning, as a double from Seth Williams put two Tar Heels in scor ing position. And the inning could have got ten really bad for UNC-G (18-8), but strong plays from the Spartan infield helped them make it out of the inning unscathed. The Spartan defense made strong plays in the infield all night. First baseman Orton did not let anything down the line, as he made two impressive grabs on sharply hit ground balls. But perhaps the most impressive play of the night came from pitcher Matt Bjorkstrom, who snagged a very firmly hit bouncer by UNC’s Tim Federowicz. Tar Heel left fielder Dustin Ackley, who just three games ago led the ACC in batting average, continued his cold spell, going O- to allow just one run on five hits.
