Sorry Tyler, Lawson Is True Top Heel
Posted Mar 9, 2009
On a night North Carolina coach Roy Williams tried to start seven seniors, it turned out to be another reminder that all the Tar Heels really need is one junior. After all, for two days, Tywon Lawson had the most famous foot in sports this side of Tom Brady's protective boot. So when the ball went up, it was a bit of a surprise to see him in the starting lineup. But to see him finish the Blue Devils was just downright predictable.
