Tar Heels advance by going small

Posted Mar 22, 2015
UNC's post players were struggling and the Tar Heels needed capable ball-handlers to beat the Arkansas press, so Roy Williams went with a small lineup for most of the last 15 minutes of an 87-78 win Saturday. A strategy invoked as much by necessity as choice, it worked well enough to push UNC to a Sweet 16 matchup with either Wisconsin or Oregon on Thursday in Los Angeles. (Fayetteville Observer)
