Tar Heels survive first test with Cats
Posted Nov 15, 2007
As Davidson pushed and prodded North Carolina for all it was worth, Roy Williams all but cracked a wry smile. "I told the guys in one of the huddles, 'You may not believe it right now, but this is great for us,' " North Carolina's coach said. "The exhibition games were not great for us. We won by [55] and 52 and that doesn't challenge us, that doesn't test us. Tonight did."
