North Carolina Tar Heel’s Head Coach Roy Williams (Jeremy Brevard-USA TODAY Sports)
The North Carolina Tar Heels got a statement win on Saturday against the 11th ranked Florida State Seminoles. This win marks the 900th time Roy Williams has led his team to victory as a head coach. He is now the fastest head coach in division one basketball history to reach that 900 win total. The Tar Heels are near the end of an up and down season, but this is a major win for the team and the Tar Heel’s head coach.
UNC’s Roy Williams gets his 900th win
Guilderland s Andrew Platek scored the game winning field goal last night for the North Carolina Tar Heels against the Miami Hurricanes in a 67-65 victory. The game was televised nationally on ESPN following this year s Heisman Trophy presentation. Platek s field goal was two of his seven points in the contest.
Both fans and media members shared their excitement for the former Capital Region stand out across social media last night.
The 2020-2021 season marks Platek s fourth season with the North Carolina Tar Heels. Due to NCAA rules, this season may not necessarily be Platek s last in Chapel Hill. In October, the NCAA ruled that winter athletes will be granted an extra year of eligibility due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is possible that Capital Region fans may see their local product play one more season with Tar Heels.
