Before each season, former UCLA men's basketball coach John Wooden looked over his team's schedule on paper and marked the wins and losses.
He'd then put the paper in an envelope, which he placed in his desk drawer. Finally, at the end of the season, he'd pull the paper out and review his predictions.
During his press conference on Tuesday, Roy Williams mentioned how Wooden once told him of this annual exercise. Williams said he's never brought himself to do it. But if he had before this season, Williams thinks he would have been pleased with North Carolina's 8-1 start.
