Roy Williams: Sky isn't falling on Tar Heels

Posted May 13, 2010
To hear Roy Williams tell it Wednesday night, the sky isn't falling on the UNC basketball team. Yes, Williams admitted he was surprised last week when forwards David and Travis Wear told him they were transferring, leaving the Tar Heels with just two post players on scholarship. No, there aren't a lot of quality big men available who will be eligible to play immediately. But Williams sounded confident the team will survive its latest personnel loss. (Charlotte Observer)
