UNC finds fuse that helps Tar Heels blast off

Posted Mar 4, 2012
Two things happened that helped UNC play with a sense of anger and aggression Saturday in the Tar Heels’ 88-70 victory against Duke. The first happened inside the UNC locker room before the game began. Roy Williams gathered his team and pointed to a board, where he’d written the word “attack” three times. He wanted his team to be relentless, and to never stop playing that way. (Raleigh News & Observer)
