01/27/2007 - Tucson, AZ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Deon Thompson and Alex Stepheson stepped up for the ill Brandon Wright, scoring 14 and 10 points respectively, as fourth- ranked North Carolina handed No. 17 Arizona its worse home loss in the Lute Olsen era, 92-64, at the McKale Center.
Wright and Marcus Ginyard became ill at the team hotel Friday night, then their Tar Heel teammates went out and inflicted their will on the Wildcats.
Ty Lawson, one game after scoring 14 second-half points in a rout of Wake Forest, poured in a career-high 18 points and dished out eight assists while Wayne Ellington and Tyler Hansbrough added 14 points apiece.
Hansbrough scored a dozen of his points in the second half, as North Carolina (19-2) won its fourth straight in preparation for the first of two meetings with Duke on February 7. First, the Tar Heels have a home date with Miami- Florida and travel down the road to face North Carolina State.
Freshman Chase Budinger led Arizona (14-6) with 16 points, Mustafa Shakur tallied 15 points and Jordan Hill contributed 13 points. The Wildcats have lost four of five.
An early start -- 11 a.m. (mt) in Tucson -- and a ravaging North Carolina defense stifled Arizona's perimeter game. The Wildcats made their first three-pointer with 2:09 left in the game, finishing 1-of-23 over 40 minutes.
Even without their second leading scorer and top defensive stopper, the Tar Heels came at the Wildcats in waves over the first half. A team noted for scoring -- even though it places second in the NCAA in defensive efficiency -- held the Wildcats without a field goal over the half's final six minutes and forced them to 0-for-10 shooting from beyond the arc.
The Tar Heels built their comfortable edge behind a 22-5 spurt to close the first 20 minutes. They did it with negligible offensive numbers from Hansbrough, who scored just two points and didn't make a field goal.
Lawson's acrobatic layup under the arms of two Wildcat defenders with 1:01 left gave UNC a 41-23 edge. The point guard swiped an in-bounds pass and raced the length of the floor moments later to gave the Tar Heels a 43-23 lead.
North Carolina held a 43-25 advantage at intermission thanks to Lawson's 14 points and 14 combined points from Wright's two replacements, Stepheson and Thompson.
The Wildcats came out of the gates strong in the second half, pulling within 50-37 on Ivan Radenovic's three-point play with just over 15 minutes to play.
The Tar Heels responded with 11 consecutive points to take control. Stepheson's inside bucket capped the spurt with 11:33 on the clock.
North Carolina cruised from to victory there.

What is most impressive with this group is their balance; the five starters all average between 10.7 and 13.6 PPG. The Gators have been on an absolute roll having won 15 straight by an average of 16.4 PPG.
Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country.
