Roy Williams has 828 reasons for North Carolina to play the way he wants to play.
That’s how many wins the hall-of-fame coach has in 30 seasons at UNC and Kansas and the majority of them have come with two traditional bigs and by working the ball inside first.
With so many new parts on this UNC roster, and his best parts not exactly fitting the traditional mold of how Williams prefers to play, the Tar Heels (12-2, 1-0 ACC) are at a crossroads just one game into ACC play.
Playing the way Williams prefers requires some time for UNC’s young forwards to mature.
