Tar Heels were desperate to get the win

Posted Dec 1, 2011
If there was any doubt how badly North Carolina needed this win, Roy Williams let everyone know in the second half - not by whipping out a BB gun to defend the Smith Center against any red-clad Wisconsin fans who dared venture into the good seats, but by whipping off his suit coat at a crucial moment Wednesday night. "I don't know why I did it," Williams said. "Looked like an idiot on TV, I guess." (Charlotte Observer)
