In a post-game press conference, Coach Roy Williams commented on House Bill 2 and the team&#8217;s presence in Greensboro. Williams referenced the NCAA Basketball Tournament that won&#8217;t be played in North Carolina this year as the NCAA pulled its tournaments from the state after HB2 was passed. &#8220;I&#8217;m glad we were able to take a game here because of that stupid rule that we have in our state that took a lot of great opportunities for people in our state, and great athletes that like to do things in our state. I shouldn&#8217;t say rule, I guess it&#8217;s a law. A law&#8217;s more important than a rule, I guess. But I just think that&#8217;s ridiculous, and what it&#8217;s doing to our state and the reputation of our state.&#8221; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wralsportsfan.com\/unc\/video\/16508646\/\" class=\"colorbox\" id=\"rssmi_more\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> &#8230;read more<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Source:: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wralsportsfan.com\/unc\/video\/16508646\/\" class=\"colorbox\" title=\"Roy Williams comments on HB2 after Greensboro game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WRAL<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following a water main break in Chapel Hill, the UNC men&#8217;s basketball game against Notre Dame was moved to Greensboro Coliseum on Sunday.
