North Carolina rolls past Gonzaga 98-77
Posted Mar 28, 2009
Ty Lawson sat on the sideline with both feet propped up on a chair as his left ankle was re-taped. He went back in the game a few moments later, but there was no rush. North Carolina had this one well under control. Lawson scored 17 of his 19 points in the first half, and the top-seeded Tar Heels routed Gonzaga 98-77 in the South Regional on Friday night. They'll play second-seeded Oklahoma on Sunday for a berth in the Final Four.
