Roy Williams ‘relieved’ as Tar Heels top Buckeyes

Posted Dec 20, 2014
Even after a 82-74 win against No. 12 Ohio State, North Carolina coach Roy Williams wasn’t pleased. And why should he have been? Minutes before halftime in the opening game of the CBS Sports Classic, the No. 24 Tar Heels looked the best they had all season. By game’s end, they were limping to the finish line, barely hanging on for the 12-point win. “I’m extremely relieved,” Williams said. (Durham Herald-Sun)
