The Interview

Roy Williams
NORTH CAROLINA BASKETBALL COACH

The No. 3 Tar Heels were 23--2 after beating Miami on Sunday.

Dan Patrick: When do you start looking ahead and comparing your team with other teams, like Number 1 UConn?

Roy Williams: Not until we get to conference tournament time. If you were to ask me two first- and second-round NCAA tournament locations, there's no way in Hades I'd be able to give you two. I don't look ahead.

DP: Have you taken a glimpse at Connecticut and thought about how you'd attack them?

RW: I've seen them play three or four times, but never for more than five or 10 minutes, because they're not on our schedule. They're the real deal, there's no question about that. But as far as matchups, I haven't gone that far.

DP: Are the Cameron Crazies mean-spirited or creative?

RW: I think they're more creative now. In the '80s they were tough, a little vulgar, and the [ Duke] administration got on them. So every time the referee made a call they didn't like, they'd chant, "We beg to differ. We beg to differ."

DP: If you open your desk drawer right now, are there candy bars in there?
