Heels can't blame this on Tywon

Posted Feb 9, 2008

There will be those who point to Ty Lawson's absence on Wednesday as the reason why Duke beat Carolina 89-78 at the Smith Center, but the real answer is the Blue Devils outplayed the Tar Heels in every way. If Duke was not sinking three-point shots (13-29), the Blue Devils were pounding the ball down on the block for easy baskets. (Tar Heel Daily)
