Roy Williams, North Carolina roll into another Sweet 16

Basketball is a sport in North Carolina that gets in the blood, pushes it against the arteries and rises and falls with the fortunes of the Tar Heels. It's a condition that has experienced five NCAA championships, 18 Final Four appearances, 25 Sweet Sixteen stops and nearly 2,100 victories. It's a condition that beckoned Roy Williams to leave one of the most prestigious positions in college basketball to return and restore the iconic Tar Heels. (St. Louis Post-Dispatch)
