Roy Williams' Message: Party Over, It's Time to Focus

Posted Mar 14, 2007

UNC head basketball coach Roy Williams was relaxed on Tuesday as he met the media. He has been through this so many times, first at Kansas and now at Carolina. He knows how to get a team ready for the NCAA tournament. Williams knows it was nice to win his first ACC tournament, but he also knows full well that’s not the prize he wants in the end—and he says it’s up to him to make sure his team gets that message.
