No. 1 North Carolina helped UNC-Asheville open its new arena but apparently didn’t impress the Asheville fans, some of whom chanted “overrated” as the game wound down for a 91-75 Tar Heels victory.
UNC coach Roy Williams, a native of Asheville, scheduled the rare in-state game against a non-ACC opponent as a favor and has even contributed money to the basketball offices.
“I didn’t think I’d be booed as much as I was in Asheville, North Carolina,” Williams said with a laugh. “But that’s ok. All’s fair in love and war and basketball I guess.”
