Crowd Becomes UNC's 6th Man in Greensboro

Posted Feb 5, 2017
Roy Williams did not want to leave Chapel Hill to face off against No. 20 Notre Dame. But the Tar Heel fans packed the Greensboro Coliseum and and provided an atmosphere that rivaled - if not surpassed - a big night at the Smith Center. Added Williams: “The people here today, I’m thrilled. I wish I could say thank you to every single one of them because they were important to us winning the game.” (Inside Carolina)
