Heels defend No. 1 ranking by downing 'Noles

Posted Mar 5, 2008

Ty Lawson, the top-ranked Tar Heels' floor leader is back from his lingering ankle injury just in time for the trip to Duke this weekend. But it's clear North Carolina will have to wait a little longer for Lawson to feel completely comfortable. Tyler Hansbrough had 20 points while Lawson, playing in his first home game in a month, added 10 in 20 minutes to help the Tar Heels beat Florida State 90-77 on Tuesday night. (Sporting News)
