Lucas: Fresh Legs

Posted Mar 17, 2011
Mindful of a team that relies so heavily on freshmen being weary at the end of a long season, Roy Williams gave his squad an unusual amount of rest this week. "On Monday, we had about an hour-and-45 minute meeting, but no practice," he said. "And on Tuesday we had no practice. It is extremely important to get their legs back. We were physically beaten when we left (Greensboro)." (Tar Heel Blue)
