Ol' Roy's Disdain For State Has Never Wavered

Posted Jan 25, 2018
Roy Williams’ feelings about N.C. State and the basketball rivalry UNC has with its neighbor has never waned. He dislikes the Wolfpack as much now as he did when as a student at UNC 45-plus years ago. It’s so intense that Williams annually imparts that ill will to his team, and it’s worked well. Under Williams at Carolina, the Tar Heels have won 21 of the last 23 meetings. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
