Tar Heels Bounce Runnin' Bulldogs, 93-72
Posted Nov 24, 2009
Roy Williams admits he's thrown a lot at his young North Carolina players to get them ready for the season. It sounds like he's about to demand a little more from them. Deon Thompson matched his career high with 22 points to help the Tar Heels beat Gardner-Webb 93-72 on Monday night, bouncing back from their first loss of the season with a relatively easy win against an overmatched non-conference opponent.
