Ty Lawson, a freshman point guard, said after UNC's 96-84 overtime loss to Georgetown in the NCAA Tournament East Regional championship game that he will come back next season to chase the national championship. "I'll be back next year," Lawson said. Tyler Hansbrough, Brandan Wright and Wayne Ellington could not immediately commit to any future plans, either to stay at UNC or leave and enter the NBA Draft.
