Roy Williams used to refer to the ACC tournament as a “cocktail party.” That’s past tense but not because the North Carolina coach’s opinion of the official conference championship has necessarily changed.
“I’ve stopped saying it just because I didn’t want to listen to people criticize me,” Williams said Monday.
To be clear, Williams wants to win the ACC tournament this week in Brooklyn. The Tar Heels (22-9), the No.6 seed, will have to win four game in four days to do so.
Williams was quick to point out Monday that he did indeed pack four suits for the trip to New York.
