Halfcourt practice pays off

Posted Mar 22, 2009
North Carolina’s experience playing without Ty Lawson in Atlanta last weekend proved vital in Greensboro on Saturday. Lawson was back in the lineup, but between his sore toe and LSU’s defense, Carolina wasn’t able to get moving in the first half and found itself mired in a half-court game. It was exactly the kind of game the Tigers wanted, and the Heels ran past them anyway, 84-70. (Raleigh News & Observer)
