North Carolina had to deal with the inevitable after securing its ticket to the Final Four.
The Tar Heels will now play Kansas, which is the team previously coached by Roy Williams after the Jayhawks dispatched Davidson.
Williams now coaches North Carolina, and so there’s one obvious storyline.
So often, conspiracy theories arise when the NCAA Tournament brackets come out, complete with suggestions that certain matchups are fixed.
But this is Williams’ fifth year on the job as North Carolina’s head coach and this will be the first meeting between the Tar Heels and Kansas during that span. This wasn’t a fixed matchup, just one out of necessity this late in the season.
