DETROIT -- UNC forward Tyler Hansbrough's hand was bleeding, and his blood was on point guard Ty Lawson's jersey after a scrum for the basketball.
So both players had to come out of the game with about 16 minutes to play in the second half. UNC's trainer screamed across the court to a student manager, who is sitting in the first row of seats across from the UNC bench.
The student manager dashed to the locker room for another No. 5 jersey, but he wasn't fast enough for Lawson. The ACC player of the year went back into the game wearing a No. 25 jersey with no name on the back.
