Ty Lawson needed a half to warm up, but North Carolina's point guard made some spectacular shots in the second half, carrying the top-seeded Tar Heels to an 84-70 win over LSU in a second-round NCAA Tournament South Region contest. Lawson, who missed North Carolina's previous three games due to a sprained big toe on his right foot, scored 21 of his 23 points in the second half. (Sports Network)
