SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico -- Roy Williams was a solitary figure near the end of a hallway outside of North Carolina's locker room, engulfed in his own thoughts.A few minutes earlier Williams shared those thoughts and repeatedly explained that last year's struggles should not negatively impact this year's Tar Heels.
Williams further explained he doesn't think about last year, period, instead focusing on what this year's team can do, what it needs to do - and what it didn't do in Friday's 72-67 defeat to Minnesota in the Puerto Rico Tip-Off Tournament.
UNC's performance at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico, while disappointing, also expects to be an early test for a coach and team that failed to handle adversity last season en route to 17 defeats. The No. 8 Tar Heels showed the Gophers they are a work in progress, a team with talent but one with deficiencies, too.
