Ol' Roy wants as good of a hotel as Duke

Posted Mar 19, 2011
UNC's hotel as assigned by the NCAA was the Hilton University but rumor is head coach Roy Williams refused to stay there because he wanted a hotel "as nice as or better than Duke's". Duke is staying at the Ritz-Carlton. So, the coaches took the team and staff to a non-NCAA hotel (Westin) and left the Hilton out to dry, who had been under contract and holding rooms for the team.
