Tar Heels lose Lawson to ankle injury, barely escape with OT win over FSU

The biggest game of the season thus far (Wed, Duke) for the North Carolina Tar Heels will be played without their top two point guards. Backup Bobby Frasor tore his ACL about a month ago and is out for the season, while starter Ty Lawson suffered an ankle sprain in last nights OT victory over Florida St. The Heels needed 22 points and 21 boards from Tyler Hansbrough to stay on top of the Seminoles, but the bigger issue may be the lack of depth at PG now. 3rd stringer Quentin Thomas may get the start, or 2 guard Marcus Ginyard may run the point. Looking forward to seeing what the Heels have in store for the #2 Duke Blue Devils.

I think I speak for all Duke fans when I say that it would be much more satisfying to beat y'all with Lawson -- however, if we have to beat you without him we'll still take it.

That's a fair statement, it so much better when there's no excuses or "wait till next time" comments.
