Ty Lawson:Tar Heeled

Posted Mar 25, 2008

In the second half of his team's dissection of Arkansas, Ty Lawson faked right, bolted the other way and left his defender at the top of the key. The shifty North Carolina point guard then swooped into the lane, hitting a layup and drawing a foul. As he headed to the foul line and exchanged high-fives with teammates, a black brace was the only thing that reminded anyone of the ankle injury that hampered the sophomore for more than a month.
