Carolina Uses Defense to Stifle NC State in Blowout

Posted Jan 13, 2008

Normally, UNC's players and coaches place a post-game meal order before tipoff. But there was only one thing UNC coach Roy Williams wanted against N.C. State, and it wasn't on any restaurant menu. "He said he'd rather beat State than eat," forward Marcus Ginyard said. "So he didn't order anything." Williams still ended up satisfied, if a little hungry, as his No. 1-ranked Tar Heels blew out the Wolfpack 93-62 in front of a sellout crowd. (Rivals.com)
