Tough losses lit fire under Roy Williams, Tar Heels
Posted Mar 5, 2012
Through the big losses, North Carolina has found a way to keep standing. Now, the Tar Heels are doing so with the ACC regular season championship beside them. “The best thing about my team is they’re pretty tough,” Roy Williams said. “I mean, that’s some pretty big plays they’ve had to bounce back from, and I think they’ve done a nice job. Right now, they’re ACC regular season champions.”
