As if the Tar Heels really need Ty Lawson for their ACC conference tournament because they have pretty much already have a number seed in the Big Dance, but if Lawson is going to come back having him getting back into the swing of things during the ACC tournament could be potentially huge for team chemistry.

I still believe North Carolina can win the ACC tournament and the Big Dance without Lawson in the lineup, but he will definitely make the Tar Heels an even stronger contender in the Big Dance.

Duke, Wake Forest and Florida State will be thanking their lucky stars if Lawson can make it back, but if he doesn't there will still be hope for ACC tourney glory for these three teams.
