No rest for UNC newcomers in blowout loss at Indiana

Posted Nov 28, 2012
In Assembly Hall, at the end of UNC’s worst non-conference loss since Williams took over in 2003-04, the coach went with his five scholarship newcomers — the four freshmen and sophomore transfer Luke Davis. “I didn’t play the walk-ons and I want to apologize to them,” Williams said. “But I want our team to get better and letting the freshmen be out there on the court and give them some more minutes.” (Durham Herald-Sun)
