Freshmen Go Old School

Posted Nov 23, 2005

They won't all be this easy. In fact, none of the rest of the games are likely to be this easy. But don't let anyone tell you that Roy Williams is working from scratch here. He's got a roster with a significant foundation. "All the freshmen who came in are good players," Danny Green said. "Coach Williams wouldn't recruit anyone who isn't a good player. Everybody on our team is fundamentally sound. Right now we're learning the things he's teaching us and getting better at them every game." (Tar Heel Blue)
