Tar Heels looking tough: North Carolina invades Rupp

Posted Nov 30, 2007

Teams coached by Roy Williams are not generally considered tough. Bob Huggins' teams are choke-you on defense tough. Bobby Knight's teams are blue-collar tough. Williams' teams at Kansas and now UNC have always been explosive, loaded with talent and entertaining.
