Williams, North Carolina doesn't want to be upset
Posted Mar 21, 2008
Roy Williams, a 20-year head coaching veteran who has won more than 500 games and led his teams to five Final Four appearances and one national championship title, has seen it all. The element of surprise lurks during the Big Dance. The Tar Heels have watched No. 16 Mount St. Mary's on tape. They will not know what to expect until they actually step out onto the court at 7:10 tonight in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in the RBC Center.
