Roy Williams: ‘My favorite senior group I’ve ever had’

Roy Williams couldn’t tell you about the details of the game.

The details were the least important thing in the world. It was Senior Night. Marcus Paige, Brice Johnson and Joel James took the floor for the final time in their Tar Heel careers.

Winning — that was important.

“I don’t know that I’ve ever felt as much stress over a regular season game as I did tonight,” said Williams after beating Syracuse 75-70. “That was maybe more important than any game I’ve been involved in.”

This could be the most important senior class Williams has ever had.
