Heels hope to rebound

Posted Feb 17, 2007

The UNC-Virginia Tech game was not even four minutes old, and already Tar Heels coach Roy Williams had seen enough. His team had given up three offensive rebounds, and each extra shot attempt UNC gave up was having an exponential effect on Williams' blood pressure. Finally, during a stop in the action, the ball rolled near the Tar Heels' bench. Williams picked it up and slammed it to the floor in frustration. Yeah, rebounding matters to Roy Williams -- a whole lot. (Greensboro News & Record)
