North Carolina coach Roy Williams, who is 6-6 lifetime against Rick Barnes, said of today's game: "I'm really anxious, really interested and anxious to see how we're going to play, because they're going to hit us right between the eyes, and are we going to lay down in the floor in a fetal position and start yelling for mama, or are we going to play basketball?"
