Roy Williams has the team to beat but isn't obsessed with winning the title
Posted Mar 13, 2008
Roy Williams of North Carolina doesn’t mind the stress or even the travel associated with the ACC Tournament. Really, he doesn’t. He likes the tournament, contrary to popular belief. But he doesn’t love it and isn’t obsessed with winning it. “It’s a great cocktail party and a big party for all the fans,” Williams said. “Growing up here in North Carolina, the ACC Tournament is the granddaddy of them all. It means a great deal."
