This is still Tar Heel basketball

Posted Oct 24, 2005

With the Tar Heels losing every starter and seven of their top eight players from last year's NCAA championship team, a reporter told Roy Williams "you guys should be picked ninth or 10th, maybe 11th," in the ACC. Williams smiled. "But," Williams said the reporter told him, "you're going to be picked fourth or fifth because it's North Carolina." Williams didn't disagree. He understands that low expectations, even middle of the pack expectations, just don't come with the package in Chapel Hill. It's North Carolina basketball, so you should win. (Buzz Fans)
