    First his North Carolina players gave Roy Williams a tough, hard-fought, milestone victory.

    Then they surprised their coach with a specially made gift to help him commemorate the occasion.

    As soon as the Tar Heels got into the locker room after beating gritty Villanova 78-71 in the second round of the NCAA tournament Friday night, they gave Williams a jersey with the number 700 emblazoned on the front. It was his 700th career win, a plateau he had been downplaying all week but a moment his players had said they all wanted to be a part of.
