Posted Feb 16, 2009
Ty Lawson doesn't have anything to say to people who still doubt his outside shot. He just continues to prove them wrong. Sunday, for instance, the North Carolina point guard buried three key 3-pointers in the final 3 minutes, 35 seconds at Bank United Center to help his team withstand a 35-point barrage by Miami's Jack McClinton and edge the Hurricanes 69-65.
