Jilted Jayhawks remember Roy
Posted Mar 31, 2008
It was inevitable that a Roy Williams-coached North Carolina team would someday have to deal with Kansas in a high-stakes game. That day will be Saturday in San Antonio's Alamodome, when the Tar Heels and Jayhawks yet again face off with a national championship either directly or indirectly in the balance. The first meeting was in 1957, when Carolina defeated Kansas and Wilt Chamberlain in three overtimes at Kansas City to launch the era of ACC emphasis on the NCAA Tournament.
