Williams: Team left early out of caution

Posted Jan 14, 2012
As the Florida State crowd rushed the court Saturday, only UNC’s walk-ons were there to see it. With 14.2 seconds left of the most lopsided defeat of the Roy Williams era, Williams and most of the rest of the team walked to the locker room, shaking hands with Florida State’s coaches in front of their bench along the way. After the game, FSU coach Leonard Hamilton said the early departure was his idea. (ESPN.com)
