Ty Saves the Day

Here at the ontheheels headquarters, tensions were running high as LSU tied the game up at 63. Jimmy began to sob, Alex filled the snack bowls, and Jonathon got drunk. But thanks to the spectacular play of Ty Lawson, Carolina managed to win by 14; meanwhile keeping LSU to a mere 70 points. Their plan of running with Carolina didn't really come to fruition. There actually wasn't too many transition points throughout the whole game, but even so, Carolina won the points off turnovers battle. Ty ended the game with 23 points, 6 assists, 3 steals, and 1 rebound, all on a painful toe that kept him grimacing the whole game.
Meanwhile, Carolina held LSU to 45% FG shooting. Carolina's defense forced 15 turnovers and had 5 blocks. As thrilling as Wayne and Danny's clutch 3s were, seeing Deon Thompson guarding his man out past the 3 point line and Tyler stealing the ball out at 20 feet was even better. This team decided to guard when it mattered, and we saw the lockdown defense of which this team is capable. I think they've convinced themselves they can overcome any team, talent wise, and from here on out it becomes a matter of execution. And I'll take that over lacking the talent any day.
