Larry Drew's struggles continue despite win

Posted Feb 28, 2010
Larry Drew has struggled this season under the weight of expectations both fair and unfair, and Saturday offered both the plus and the minus, particularly after he resurfaced to make two final free throws and secure a 77-68 win for the Tar Heels. His defense helped contain Wake Forest guard Ish Smith, whose 5-for-21 night set the tone for the wayward Deacons, and Drew finished with eight turnovers against only three assists.
