Breaking down the field in the ACC tournament

Posted Mar 11, 2009
The Tar Heels are favored to win their third straight ACC championship. They’re scoring 91 points a game, nine more than second-place Wake Forest. But point guard Ty Lawson’s jammed big toe is a big concern. Lawson told reporters Tuesday that the toe is swollen and he can barely walk on it. If he can’t play, or is severely limited, UNC becomes very beatable. (Atlanta Journal-Constitution)
