Straight to the point: Tar Heels missed Lawson

Posted Feb 8, 2008

UNC's offense was so stagnant that Marcus Ginyard, normally the fifth option, made two of the Heels' three 3-pointers and attempted 10 shots. The ACC leaders in assist-to-turnover ratio, UNC gave up the ball 20 times while registering 17 assists. The 78 points was its lowest total at home. And UNC's vaunted fast break? Nonexistent. The Tar Heels had four fast-break points. (Wilmington Star News)
