Buzz Williams, a 38-year-old Texan with a shaved head, is making his first trip to the regional semifinals in his third season with the 11th-seeded Golden Eagles. The other Williams in the bracket with whom he will match wits Friday in Newark, N.J., is North Carolina's Roy Williams, the white-haired 60-year-old who has made 13 previous Sweet 16 trips with Kansas and the Tar Heels and won two titles.
