Blowing the whistle on ACC basketball

Posted Jan 6, 2007

On Sunday, second-ranked North Carolina opens ACC play against Florida State at the Smith Center. In the ACC preseason poll, the Tar Heels were the overwhelming pick to be No. 1 in the league in the regular season. "If you are the favorite or underdog, you've still got to play on game day," UNC coach Roy Williams said Friday. "Last year we were not favored, by any means. I said let's play our tails off every day and enjoy the journey." (Raleigh News & Observer)
