The Sweet 16 kicks off today and North Carolina tips-off tomorrow against Auburn. Late March is both the best and scariest time of the year, especially when your favorite team is a strong national title contender. Roy Williams has been almost unbeatable in the Sweet 16 since he’s been back on UNC’s sideline, going 8-1 in nine trips. The Heels will look to continue that dominance against the Auburn Tigers.
It’s the first time these two teams have met since 1985, when a sophomore Kenny Smith led Carolina to victory in….the Sweet 16. Here’s to history repeating itself!
