A Matter of Respect: Tar Heels say they can boost Williams' morale with a win
Posted Mar 17, 2007
The UNC basketball program has always considered itself a tight-knit family, but the family has a problem. And now, the players say, it's time to take care of the head of the family. Coach Roy Williams is mourning the death of his older sister. Marcus Ginyard believes that the best way North Carolina can ease his pain is to rally around him and beat Michigan State in today's NCAA Tournament East Regional second-round game.
