Posted Nov 16, 2017
With 10 available players and five positions on the floor to fill, Roy Williams had 252 possible lineup combinations from which to choose Wednesday. He didn’t use all of them during North Carolina’s basketball game against Bucknell at Smith Center. But it wasn’t for a lack of trying. The Hall of Fame coach juggled players in and out of the lineup against the Bison. (North State Journal)
