Following UNC's 88-72 season-opening triumph over Florida International Monday night in the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic, UNC head coach Roy Williams spoke briefly with reporters. "Okay, we're glad to get a 'W.' It's fun to get that first game under your belt," said Williams. Despite shooting well for much of the game and out-rebounding Florida International 44-29, the Tar Heels committed a whopping 26 turnovers. (Carolina Blue)
