Shortening their bench would be a foolish move for the Tar Heels

Posted Mar 4, 2007

I know, I know. You’re convinced Roy Williams needs to shorten his bench, to settle on a rotation of seven guys that can develop chemistry and thrive during the NCAA tournament. Why? Because no team in the last 15 years has used 11 or 12 players and ended up singing “One Shining Moment” at the Final Four. Well, you know what? None of those teams ever had the collection of talent that Williams and the Tar Heels have. (Fayetteville Observer)
