Roy Williams Has Never Reached The Elite Eight After Losing By More Than 20

Posted Jan 17, 2012
It’s fairly rare for one of Roy Williams' teams to lose by more than 20, but when they do, it’s generally a pretty bad sign for their postseason outlook. The teams suffering such a large beatdown have gone on to win 0, 0, 1, 1, and 2 games in the NCAA tournament. This most recent loss — if it were the only thing we knew about the Tar Heels – seems to point towards a mere one win in the NCAA tournament. (Team Rankings)
