North Carolina's Tyler Hansbrough has been named the Associated Press Player of the Year.

According to the AP, "The 6-foot-9 junior forward averaged 22.8 points, the highest mark by a North Carolina player since 1970, and 10.3 rebounds for the Tar Heels (36-2), who were ranked No. 1 for all but six weeks this season and were the overall top seed for the NCAA tournament... He received 56 votes from the 72-member national media panel that selects the weekly Top 25. Freshman Michael Beasley of Kansas State had 15 votes and junior guard Chris Douglas-Roberts of Memphis got one in the voting conducted before the NCAA tournament." So what he the right pick, or was Beasley robbed?

Beasley might be a better pro but Hansbrough means more to his team. Plus it's nice to see a kid rewarded for staying in school, rather than being a mercenary for a year.

I think they got it right. Beasley may be the higher draft pick, but Hansbrough has been great this year.

I disagree Beasley got screwed over because he wasn't an upper class men, if he was a Junior or Senior he would've won.

Now see, I'm surprised to hear that. Cause I'm NOT a UNC fan, but I think Hansbrough was the right pick. Go figure!
