“If I’m going to die, I hope it’s not during a game like that.”

Posted Jan 14, 2019
Per usual, Roy Williams summed it up best. “If I’m going to die,” the Hall of Fame UNC coach said, “I hope it’s not during a game like that.” By ‘game like that,’ Williams was referring to Carolina’s worst home loss in his tenure, a 83-62 shellacking at the hands of Louisville. The Cardinals (11-5, 2-1 ACC) dominated the No. 12 Tar Heels (12-4, 2-1) in every facet of the game. (Argyle Report)
