Posted Nov 25, 2006

North Carolina coach Roy Williams was blunt with his team after its latest victory. "I told them to go home and for Christmas ask for some brains," Williams said after the second-ranked Tar Heels beat No. 22 Tennessee 101-87 on Friday night in the third-place game of the NIT Season Tip-Off. "One of the parents heard me say that and said, `Good. That doesn't cost very much."' (Tar Heel Blue)
