NIT run needs to be just the start for Tar Heels
Posted Apr 2, 2010
UNC's season began with the goal of defending its latest national championship. It ended with the Tar Heels figuring out how excited to get by reaching the NIT championship game. Injuries, criticism, blowout losses - it all added up to the Tar Heels' worst season since Roy Williams returned to his alma mater. "This was the hardest year I've ever had coaching,'' Williams said after Thursday night's loss to Dayton in the NIT final in New York.
