UNC's rebuilding plan ahead of schedule

Posted Feb 24, 2006

North Carolina had a massive rebuilding project scheduled this season, but Coach Roy Williams' plans have moved ahead of schedule in the past month. UNC is in position to win 20 games this season. The Tar Heels can also secure the No. 2 seed for the ACC Tournament, and an NCAA Tournament berth is a certainty now after Wednesday's 95-71 win at N.C. State. (Winston-Salem Journal)
