Why Ty Lawson will play on Thursday

Posted Mar 18, 2009
Ty Lawson has to practice part of Tuesday and all of Wednesday in order to play in the Tar Heels opener against Radford on Thursday. We predict, he practiced some today and will practice tomorrow. We also predict he will play only 10 to 15 minutes against Radford, but he may play more if the sputtering turbo jet that is North Carolina’s high-powered offense needs a few more test laps to get the things going again.
