Kentucky may get a break in its game against No. 1 North Carolina. And it would appear Kentucky could use a break in that game (how’s that for understatement?).
North Carolina point guard Ty Lawson injured an ankle last weekend against BYU. He played just two minutes in the first half before limping off.. Lawson, who scored a career-high 23 points against Old Dominion on Friday, had his ankle retaped on the bench, but didn’t come back in the game.
“I couldn’t run on it full speed,” Lawson said. “I don’t know how long I’m going to be out. We’ll check it out when we get back to school.”
We’ll get a hint at his status on Wednesday when North Carolina plays at Ohio State.
