879: Roy Williams closes in on a sacred number, his mentor Dean Smith's victory total

Posted Dec 28, 2019
Roy Williams is closing in on his mentor’s career victory total. Williams notched win No. 878 on Dec. 22, when North Carolina beat UCLA 74-64. Dean Smith finished with 879 — all of them at UNC — fourth all-time in NCAA Division I. With Yale visiting the Smith Center on Monday, Williams is just one away. But he doesn’t give a hoot about that right now. (Greensboro News & Record)
