Lawson handles bad with the good

Posted Jan 17, 2009
As the point guard for fifth-ranked North Carolina, Ty Lawson is one of college basketball's most scrutinized players. That can be gratifying, but sometimes, it can be grievous. "[I've] heard everybody say we go as far as I go, things like that,'' Lawson said Friday. "It's a lot of pressure. When we are winning, things are good. When losing, everybody wants to point fingers." Lawson has orchestrated 15 UNC victories and returned to typical form Thursday night. (Raleigh News & Observer)
