UNC can’t blame Roy Williams for its problems

Posted Feb 10, 2017

It’s difficult to criticize the job Williams has done this season. Despite losing their two best players from the 2015-16 roster in Brice Johnson and Marcus Paige, the Tar Heels have mostly looked like a national title contender. (FanRag Sports)
