UNC beats FIU in opener
Posted Nov 9, 2009
During least one point during Monday's first half, Roy Williams was heard yelling one of his seemingly favorite phrases at new backup point guard Dexter Strickland as the freshman was inbounded the ball: "Go, go, go!" Good thing for the Tar Heels they were also able to stop, stop, stop. The defending national champions recorded eight blocks and held Florida International to 36.8 percent shooting during their 88-72 season-opening win.
