Defending Champion Tar Heels End Up In NIT

Posted Mar 15, 2010
Defending national champion UNC will play another game after all. The Tar Heels earned a No. 4 seed in the NIT on Sunday night despite a frustrating season filled with injuries and youthful mistakes that sent them to their worst finish under coach Roy Williams. They will host No. 5 seed William & Mary on Tuesday in Chapel Hill, which will mark the program’s first NIT appearance since reaching the third round in Matt Doherty’s final season in 2003.
