Kansas ties bring Williams, Manning together for UNC-Wake matchup

Posted Jan 21, 2015
Cohorts through Kansas ties, UNC's Roy Williams and Wake Forest's Danny Manning are now ACC counterparts. The Demon Deacons host the 15th-ranked Tar Heels on Wednesday, and Manning's transition from standout player to successful coach comes as no surprise to Williams. He took over the Jayhawks' program in 1988, after Manning carried Kansas to an improbable national title. (Fayetteville Observer)
