Roy Williams seen hilariously shaking his head after NC State layup vs Purdue in Final Four

Posted Apr 8, 2024
In 2008, Roy Williams, a Marion native, famously said he would rather beat the Wolfpack than eat. While coaching at Kansas in 2002, Williams said he was watching a UNC-NC State game on TV, which featured a large contingent of red-clad Wolfpack fans at the Smith Center during a season in which the Tar Heels limped to an 8-20 finish under coach Matt Doherty.
