UNC coach Roy Williams stands by handling of Nassir Little's playing time

CHICAGO -- Following his team's 80-72 loss to Kentucky in the CBS Sports Classic at the United Center in Chicago on Saturday, North Carolina coach Roy Williams blasted a report that questioned his handling of five-star freshman Nassir Little, a projected lottery pick who has averaged 19.8 minutes per game and hasn't started a game this season.

It's unclear which report Williams was referring to, but he denounced it at the end of his news conference.

Little, a 6-foot-6 forward, recorded four points in Saturday's game after finishing 2-for-8 from the field.
