Late to the Dean Dome
Roy Williams isn't a civil engineer -- doesn't even play one on TV -- but if he were, the UNC coach says he'd design a better road system in the Triangle so Tar Heel fans can get to their 7 p.m. games on time.
He says he could've said hello to all 13 fans who showed up early enough for pregame warmups Wednesday when Georgia Tech visited. Many seats were unoccupied until the second TV timeout. Not exactly a Cameron Indoor atmosphere at the start.
"It's a fun team to watch even when we were ugly like tonight," Williams said after the 91-69 victory. "It's still a fun team to watch. I think the crowd is getting better, and we want to be THE best place."
But, as Jim noted, that's why us reporters get to the games 1.5-2 hours early. That, and to grub Boston Market chicken, gossip and complain about our editors.
