UNC Slops Through 86-71 Win over Quakers

The 2008-09 edition of the North Carolina basketball team closed the door on what Roy Williams called the most unsettled preseason of his 21-year head coaching career with an 86-71 victory over the Quakers of Pennsylvania by putting six players in double digits in a game that was sloppy throughout. "This was a nice 'W' for the first day," said Williams. (Inside Carolina)
