Roy Williams sees expansion pros, cons
Posted Apr 3, 2010
Expansion of the NCAA men's tournament most likely would affect the NIT. Roy Williams -- who coached in the NIT for the first time in his 23 seasons and took North Carolina to a runner-up finish -- said he sees good and bad in the prospect of taking the NCAA field from 65 to 96 teams. He made it a point not to disrespect what the NIT has to offer but also said that's not where he wants his teams to play in the postseason.
