Posted Nov 13, 2011
Roy Williams returned to his hometown Sunday as he and his top-ranked Tar Heels christened UNC Asheville's brand-new Kimmel Arena with a 91-75 win over the Bulldogs. The Asheville faithful stayed until the final buzzer, hoping the defending Big South Conference champion Bulldogs could pull off the upset, but the Tar Heels' big men gave them a size advantage that Asheville just couldn't overcome.
