UNC Spokesman: Williams Expected Back At Next Practice

Sophomore Justin Jackson was one of the lone bright spots for the Tar Heels on Tuesday, finishing with a team-high 20 points. The head coach met with reporters after the game and said he was OK, saying the collapse stemmed from Vertigo. The 65-year-old coach said the condition is triggered by sudden head movements.

“We were getting our butt kicked”, Paige said. “I’ve had some vertigo attacks over the last 17 or 18 years”.

According to the News and Observer, Williams has sometimes gone to a knee when a bout of dizziness came over him, but Tuesday may have marked the first time it disrupted his ability to coach in a game. “It didn’t quite work in the first half, but it did motivate some other guys in a different way to play a little harder, give a little bit more, and I think some guys responded that way”.

Rhode Island 81, George Mason 63: Four McGlynn hit six 3-pointers and finished with 25 points for the Rams in Kingston, R.I. They hadn’t lost three straight conference games since the start of the 2013-14 season.

“I’ll be fine”, Williams said after the game.

The Tar Heels, who lead the ACC standings, will face Pittsburgh in their next fixture on Sunday, with Boston College taking on Syracuse over the weekend as well.

In fact, the Tar Heels didn’t grab their first lead until the 3:55 mark in the second half when Theo Pinson made both free throws.

The Tar Heels recorded 30 points off turnovers against the Eagles on January 30 – the last time UNC won before its two-game losing streak.

UNC’s men’s basketball team grabbed a win at Boston College Tuesday Night, but it wasn’t the first thing on the players, fans, and assistant coaches minds. He got dizzy and collapsed momentarily before having to be helped to the locker room. He returned to the bench late in the second half still in uniform, but on crutches.

“A.J.is our longest perimeter defender so on a night Jackson was playing the way he was playing, that length was huge”, Christian said.
