Roy Williams discusses UNC's 2020 season, COVID-19 outbreak

Posted Mar 23, 2020
"I don't think we ever, ever gave up," Roy Williams said of UNC's 14-19 record. "It looked like it in some ways in the Syracuse game in the Tournament. That's the reason I wished if they were going to call it off, they would've called it off 18 hours earlier." Williams said he lost more weight and slept less than he ever has during the course of this basketball season. (WRAL Sports Fan)
