Tar Heels Survive Hurricanes

Posted Feb 16, 2009
Whenever Ty Lawson decides to play for pay, the lightning-quick point guard should seriously consider signing with a team that resides in the Sunshine State. The junior drained three 3-pointers in scoring No. 3 North Carolina’s last 11 points en route to a 69-65 victory over Miami in South Florida. Lawson knocked down a career-high five 3-pointers on Sunday, scoring 17 of his 21 points in the second half. (Inside Carolina)
