Heels escape 'Noles on Lawson's shot
Posted Jan 29, 2009
North Carolina has a history of having trouble at the Tucker Center in recent years. It had to overcome more of it Wednesday night. The fifth-ranked Tar Heels shot back from a nine-point first-half deficit, then needed a buzzer-beating 3-pointer from Ty Lawson to persevere through a Toney Douglas-led onslaught to top Florida State 80-77 and win its fourth straight ACC game.
