Hansbrough gets braces to stabilize tooth

Psycho T now has psycho teeth.

North Carolina forward Tyler Hansbrough, who had his right front tooth loosened Wednesday night by Clemson forward Jerai Grant's left elbow, had braces fitted around that tooth and several other upper ones Thursday, a team spokesman said in an email.

The medical staff will re-evaluate the team's leading scorer in about a week, at which point they might remove the braces if the tooth is more stable, or leave them in if its not.

The injury happened early in the first half of UNC's win over the Tigers. Hansbrough left the court briefly, but returned with a mouthguard and finished with 20 points and 10 rebounds.

No foul was called, either.

No foul was called because it was his fault...the play was Psycho Idiot hacking booker after he missed a shot, and Psychos' gapping hole of a mouth ran right into it, I was expecting a foul to be called though, cause it seems like carolina gets every call their way.

to be factually correct actually a foul was called on Hansbrough on that play

Sometimes mouth guards aren't enough to protect one's teeth in playing ball. Everyone should play fair, so that no would get hurt and lose a tooth or teeth.
