No. 7 Duke at No. 2 North Carolina Preview
Posted Mar 8, 2009
Ty Lawson missed practice Saturday because of a sore left big toe, and a team spokesman said there is "no status" update on whether he will play today. Lawson scored 21 second-half points in the teams' last meeting to help defeat Duke, but would face a stiffer defensive challenge in Blue Devils freshman Elliot Williams. If Lawson can't go, it would likely be up to freshman Larry Drew II and senior Bobby Frasor to play the point.
