NC State falls, becomes 1st top seed to bow out

NC State was a No. 1 seed in the NCAA women's basketball tournament for the first time this season, but the Wolfpack's run came to an end in the Sweet 16 on Saturday at the Alamodome. NC State became the first top seed to lose, falling to No. 4 Indiana 73-70 in the Mercado Region semifinal. The Hoosiers earned their first trip to the Elite Eight in the women's NCAA tournament, while the ACC tournament champion Wolfpack fell short of their attempt to make the program's second Final Four. (NC State previously made the Final Four in 1998 when coached by Kay Yow.)

North Carolina Tar Heels basketball coach Roy Williams retires

The last time Roy Williams left North Carolina, he was a virtually unknown assistant who was getting his first shot as a college head coach at tradition-rich Kansas. Now Williams is retiring, leaving the Tar Heels again with a résumé chock-full of honors -- as a Hall of Famer with more than 900 wins, three national championships and a legacy built on 33 seasons of success at two of college basketball's most storied programs. Williams has spent 18 seasons at UNC, going 485-163 while leading the Tar Heels to national titles in 2005, 2009 and 2017. He also coached Kansas for 15 seasons, taking it to four Final Four appearances before leaving for his alma mater. The Tar Heels lost to Wisconsin in the first round of the NCAA tournament in his final game, his only first-round loss in 30 tournaments. Williams ranks fourth all time among Division I coaches in wins with a 903-264 record (.774 winning percentage), and he was inducted to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2007. He is the only coach in NCAA history to post 400 wins at two different schools. After coaching for five years at Charles D. Owen High School in Swannanoa, North Carolina, Williams began his college career at North Carolina as an assistant under late mentor Dean Smith -- he still respectfully refers to him as "Coach Smith" after all these years. Williams won nine ACC regular-season championships and three conference tournament titles with the Tar Heels. He won seven league tournament titles with the Jayhawks.

Who's next for Tar Heels after Roy Williams' retirement?

Roy Williams shocked the college basketball world by announcing his retirement as coach of the North Carolina Tar Heels on Thursday, seemingly bringing to an end a Hall of Fame career that saw Williams rank as among the most consistent winners within two storied programs. Williams, who won his 900th game during the 2020-21 season, concludes his career with a record of 903-264 (.774), with 485 of those wins coming since he took over at UNC in 2003 and 418 during an ultra-successful tenure at Kansas (1988-2003). Williams has a trio of national titles on his résumé (2005, 2009, 2017) to go along with nine Final Four appearances -- and will be a tough act to follow in Chapel Hill.

Roy Williams' retirement from North Carolina: Jay Bilas on why Roy is irreplaceable

Roy Williams has had two Hall of Fame-worthy careers, one at Kansas and one at North Carolina. His résumé is Mount Rushmore of college basketball-worthy, and among the greatest of all time in any sport. How do you put such a career in proper perspective? Titles, Final Fours, high-level consistency and longevity without significant down periods. Perhaps we just can't put it into perspective because we can't list all of the accomplishments and achievements. Roy Williams, though, leaves you with a feeling. He is what greatness looks like, achieved while also being thoughtful and kind. He is competitive to a fault but fair-minded and giving to others off the court. And he treats his players and staff with respect. He is demanding without being demeaning.
