LAWSON’S TOE STILL AN ISSUE FOR TAR HEELS
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Ty Lawson’s troublesome toe could keep North Carolina’s speedy point guard sidelined for the Tar Heels’ NCAA tournament opener on Thursday against Radford.
The Atlantic Coast Conference player of the year has been hobbled since injuring his right big toe before the regular-season finale against Duke, an injury that sidelined him at last weekend’s ACC tournament.
Tar Heels coach Roy Williams says Lawson’s recovery is going slower than he had expected. Lawson said at the ACC tournament that he was feeling better after several days of rest.
PERFECT GRAD RATES FOR 14
Fourteen women’s basketball teams in the NCAA tournament have perfect graduation rates.
That list includes the tournament’s top seed, Connecticut, according to a report released Monday by The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport at the University of Central Florida. The other schools with 100 percent graduation rates are DePaul, Evansville, Florida, Lehigh, Marist, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Sacred Heart, Stanford, Tennessee, Texas, Vanderbilt and Villanova.
