Big man relegated to sideshow vs. Heels

Posted Dec 17, 2006

North Carolina freshman Ty Lawson knew there was a 7-foot-6 foe between him and the basket Saturday, but figured the giant was too far away to block his shot. Really. "I threw it up high and everything," the 5-11 point guard later insisted. No wonder coach Roy Williams is worried about his team's attack -- even though the third-ranked Tar Heels blew out UNC-Asheville 93-62 at the Smith Center. (Raleigh News & Observer)
