UNC-NCSU: Postgame Quotes + Audio

Posted Feb 1, 2009
Roy Williams on why he benched Tyler Hansbrough for part of the first half: "He didn't box out. For me to stand over there and talk about it and preach about it… I love him to death. My gosh, I've been the luckiest coach in America, but anyone can box out, or at least make an effort. He didn’t, so he got a chance to come over there and see what it feels like to be over there early.” (Inside Carolina)
