• Size. Here's a brutal reality check for the rest of the ACC — UNC lost the leading scorer in ACC history (Tyler Hansbrough), and will still have one of the best frontcourts in the country.

ATLANTA — There's no doubt North Carolina will miss ACC Player of the Year Ty Lawson if he has to sit out today's quarterfinal match-up with Florida State.

But it could also give Tar Heel fans an opportunity to appreciate its past, and anticipate its future.

The past is senior Bobby Frasor, the oft-injured shooting guard who started his career as UNC's ballhandler. As a freshman in 2005-06, he surprised many with his steady stats (6.4 ppg, 2.2 rpg, 136 assists), and didn't give up his starting job for good until he had to sit out with a foot injury his sophomore season.

CHAPEL HILL — Freshman point guard Larry Drew II was pleased to score the 100th point of UNC's 108-70 win over College of Charleston on Wednesday, thus earning fans the two-sausage-biscuits special.

"You always hear them screaming for the biscuits, and don't blame 'em, biscuits is cool,'' he said.

But his breakaway layup with 3:51 left was noteworthy for another reason, too: It marked the first time since Dec. 6, 1977 that the Cougars allowed an opponent to score in triple digits.
