The fans at Value City Arena will be treated to a big-time game between the North Carolina Tar Heels and Ohio State Buckeyes when they take their seats on Wednesday.

Oddsmakers currently have the Tar Heels listed as 5-point favorites versus the Buckeyes, while the game's total has not yet been posted.

Tyler Hansbrough picked up 21 points on Saturday night as the Tar Heels defeated the BYU Cougars by a final score of 73-63. Hansbrough will be in the lineup once again, but point guard Ty Lawson may not be because of an ankle injury.

"He did not practice yesterday. I haven't seen him yet today," coach Roy Williams said on Tuesday. "He's listed on the practice plan as 'limited.' That's wishful thinking, I think, on my part. But I don't know if it's false. We talked yesterday and I told him I would hope he'd be able to do some things today and if he did some things today I could see him playing in the game. I really won't know anything until after he practices and see how he handles it."
