Tar Heels prove they can win without Lawson

Posted Nov 29, 2007

Carolina nation can exhale. Ty Lawson will play Saturday at Kentucky. "I'm definitely playing Saturday," Lawson said late Wednesday night after the Tar Heels' 66-55 win over Ohio State in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge. Lawson said he could have played against the Buckeyes, but moving laterally on defense was still an issue during the day. So, he said, with some more time off and a bit more ice, he'll be good to go.
