Tar Heels finally get feel-good moment with win over UNLV

Posted Dec 30, 2012
When Roy Williams made his appearance in UNC's giddy locker room after Saturday's 79-73 victory against UNLV, the veteran coach set in motion a scene that caught some of his players off guard. Williams began jumping up and down, drawing howls from many of the Tar Heels who quickly joined him. Turning the room into a mosh pit has become a custom after big wins during Williams' tenure.
