Lucas: UNC Basketball Mailbag

Posted Mar 4, 2009
Ty Lawson is not the best defender the Tar Heels have ever had at the point guard position. But the piling on him has become a little much. The following guards have at least 30 points against Carolina this season: Wake Forest's Jeff Teague, Maryland's Greivis Vasquez, Miami's Jack McClinton, Florida State's Toney Douglas, and Notre Dame's Kyle McAlarney. In every one of those games, the defensive responsibility on the high-scoring player was shared by multiple Tar Heels. (Tar Heel Blue)
