A terrible end to a great start

Posted Dec 30, 2007

UNC will play Valparaiso tonight at 7:30, and the Tar Heels will bring the No. 1 ranking to the Smith Center. However, despite such tremendous credentials, the Tar Heels will carry unusually heavy hearts to the court. North Carolina rolled across Nevada 106-70 on Thursday, but Roy Williams had to fight back tears in the post-game press conference. Bobby Frasor, who missed much of last season with a foot injury, fell and tore a knee ligament. (Chapel Hill News)
