UNC will accept NIT bid -- if invited

Posted Mar 12, 2010
After UNC's 62-58 first-round loss to Georgia Tech in the ACC Tournament, the Tar Heels are out of NCAA tournament contention. But coach Roy Williams made it clear that the defending national champions will accept an NIT bid, if invited. “If somebody’s going to go invite me to play, I want to go play – period,’’ said Williams, who had coached his team to at least one win in the NCAA tournament for 20 straight years.
