Ty Lawson taking more active leadership role
Posted Mar 30, 2009
Ty Lawson made a promise on Feb. 3, when UNC suffered a setback because of an injury. He has followed through on that promise in tense, tournament play. He won the NCAA Tournament's South Regional most outstanding player award yesterday, adding the honor to the ACC player of the year award. He was determined to play a more active role and make up for the experience that was lost when Marcus Ginyard decided to redshirt because of foot problems.
