Posted Jan 14, 2019
Daily Tar Heel sports editor Chris Hilburn-Trenkle sat down with Roy Williams to discuss the season thus far. "(Nassir Little) is the most explosive athlete I think I’ve ever coached in 31 years as a head coach. The other thing that stands out to me is what a great kid he is. How he’s handling the notoriety, how he’s handling the good times, how he’s handling the bad times." (Daily Tar Heel)
