Three to know – William and Mary at No. 19 North Carolina

Posted Dec 30, 2014
As a former Tar Heels player, William and Mary coach Tony Shaver will enjoy a homecoming of sorts tonight. Tribe assistant Jonathan Holmes, who was a Tar Heels’ walk-on, will be enjoying one, too. For North Carolina and coach Roy Williams, squaring off against a familiar face is nothing new. After tonight, the Tar Heels will have faced four teams led by coaches with ties to the Tar Heels’ program. (Fayetteville Observer)
