Roy Williams: Upsets happen

Posted Mar 18, 2011
While Roy Williams has been taken to an interview session, his players gathered around a television in their locker room as Morehead State’s Demonte Harper hit a 3-pointer to topple Louisville. “He pulled a Harrison!” one team member proclaimed, referring to UNC freshman Harrison Barnes’ penchant for game-winning jumpers. Tonight, the second-seeded Tar Heels hope to avoid the upset bug against 15th-seeded Long Island. (Gaston Gazette)
