Ty Lawson keeps the Heels rolling along

Posted Feb 14, 2009
The Tar Heels are taking an eight-game winning streak to Miami on Sunday, and if they keep rolling like this, Tyler Hansbrough's biggest competition to repeat as team MVP and ACC Player of the Year might be his own teammate, Ty Lawson. After racking up 15 assists and zero turnovers against Maryland and Virginia, the speedy point guard put on a show at Duke, scoring 21 points in the second half to defuse the Cameron Crazies.
