UNC's 'Rambo' feeling better
Posted Mar 25, 2009
UNC coach Roy Williams has made a habit of calling point guard Ty Lawson "Dennis the Menace." But after his 23-point performance on a gimpy right toe Saturday, Williams said he may start calling the junior "Rambo." "I don't think he's 100 percent," said Williams, who nonetheless thinks Lawson will play Friday, when the top-seeded Tar Heels play No. 4 seed Gonzaga in the Sweet Sixteen.
