UNC in familiar footsteps?

Posted Mar 27, 2008

Before the NCAA tournament began, former North Carolina guard Melvin Scott was arguing a point with Tar Heels sophomore Ty Lawson. "Dude," Scott said he told Lawson, "You guys are so much deeper than we were." Such conversations are common for Lawson and teammates on the top-seeded North Carolina team that will meet Washington State in the East Regional semifinals at Bobcats Arena at 7:27 p.m. today.
