The college game is where Roy Williams' heart is

Posted May 1, 2009
As Roy Williams watched Tyler Hansbrough dominate the 2004 Tournament of Champions, he dreamed of what the Poplar Bluff High School junior could become as a Tar Heel. "He was one of those kids that when you go watch him play, you get excited about what you think can happen with him later," Williams said. The UNC coach was in town Thursday as the guest speaker for the 13th Steak & Steak dinner to benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of Springfield. (Springfield News-Leader)
