Roy Williams after 73-71 win against Tennessee: ‘luckiest I’ve ever been’

Posted Dec 12, 2016
North Carolina coach Roy Williams made no attempt to put a positive spin on the Tar Heels’ 73-71 win against Tennessee on Sunday night. “Pretty easy to figure out,” Williams said. “Indiana was my 1,000th game as a coach, that means this was 1,003, and that’s the luckiest I’ve ever been in 1,003 games. That’s flat-out the bottom-line truth.” (SEC Country)
