Tar Heels looking tough: North Carolina invades Rupp
Posted Nov 30, 2007
Teams coached by Roy Williams are not generally considered tough. Bob Huggins' teams are choke-you on defense tough. Bobby Knight's teams are blue-collar tough. Williams' teams at Kansas and now UNC have always been explosive, loaded with talent and entertaining. Yet following No. 1 UNC's 66-55 win at Ohio State on Wednesday night in which the Tar Heels conquered the Buckeyes' match up zone, the word tough aptly popped up several times.
