Chapel Hill, N.C. - Tyler Hansbrough scored 27 points and showed no ill effects from a weekend concussion to help No. 1 North Carolina beat Nicholls State, 88-78, on Wednesday night.
Wayne Ellington added 20 points for the Tar Heels (10-0), who played at home for the first time in a month after six straight games away from the Smith Center.
Hansbrough, a junior All-American, was considered probable for the game following the concussion suffered in the second half of Sunday's 93-71 victory at Rutgers.
But Hansbrough played with his typical intensity against Nicholls State, going 8-for-13 from the field and grabbing 11 rebounds.
