No. 5 North Carolina beats Florida State at buzzer |
Ty Lawson's running 3-pointer at the buzzer gave No. 5 North Carolina an 80-77 win over Florida State on Wednesday night.Lawson took an inbounds pass with 3.2 seconds left and raced downcourt, swishing his shot at near full speed from the top of the arc. As soon as the ball went through, teammates rushed over and mobbed Lawson."I saw there was one second on the clock and shot a floater," Lawson said outside a jubilant North Carolina locker room. "It went in luckily. I wasn't sure."The Tar Heels overcame 32 points from Florida State's Toney Douglas, who scored 24 in the second half to help the Seminoles wipe out a 52-39 deficit and give themselves a chance to win.Florida State (16-5, 3-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) couldn't get off a shot on its final possession, however. The shot clock expired, giving the ball back to the Tar Heels and setting up Lawson's buzzer-beater.
