Ty Lawson's 3-pointer at the buzzer gave No. 5 North Carolina an 80-77 win over Florida State on Wednesday night. Lawson got an inbounds pass with 3.2 seconds left and raced downcourt, swishing his shot at near full speed from the top of the circle. The Tar Heels overcame 32 points from Florida State's Toney Douglas, who scored 24 in the second half to help the Seminoles wipe out a 52-39 deficit and give themselves a chance to win.
