UNC's Williams says team should be "ticked off"
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. --- So where does North Carolina go from here?
It may take the Tar Heels until lining up to face nationally-ranked Virginia on Saturday at the Dean Smith Center before they shake most of Wednesday's shocking 85-84 home loss to Duke at the buzzer.

UNC embraces opportunity to improve
Chapel Hill, NC -- Forget who North Carolina's opponent was Tuesday night at the Dean Smith Center, although Evansville does own a victory over Butler this season.
This game wasn't about the Purple Aces, not who they are and what they might become. Given UNC's circumstances, this was about the Tar Heels and what kind of team they might develop into.
We know they are...
