Life gets tough for the Tar Heels this week
Posted Nov 18, 2009
Roy Williams didn't seem so optimistic about his upcoming trip to the Big Apple after his team beat Valparaiso 88-77 in its third game of the season. Williams said his team has no chance in New York playing that kind of basketball. The No. 4 ranked Tar Heels' young corps of players will be thrown to the wolves in the second week of the season with back-to-back games against ranked teams at Madison Square Garden.
