Roy Williams dissatisfied with Wake Forest week, win

Posted Jan 20, 2016
Roy Williams got mad at his team during practice Monday and decided to see if “any of (his players) could qualify for the track team.” The Tar Heels ran “79’s”– down-and-back sprints the length of the hardwood in a minute and 19 seconds – as they prepared for the Demon Deacons. It was the first time Joel Berry II remembers that drill being used. (WRAL Sports Fan)
