Sweet Saturday: UNC Stops LSU; Moves onto Sweet Sixteen, 84-70
Posted Mar 22, 2009

Lawson scored 21 of his 23 points after halftime in his return from a toe injury, and his three-point play sparked the decisive second-half run as North Carolina held off LSU 84-70 in the South Regional on Saturday.
