Roy Williams calls Uber, 'Yoober'

Before the Tar Heels took off Tuesday for Phoenix, where they will play Oregon in the Final Four, North Carolina head coach Roy Williams provided a memorable, all-time response.

Answering a question about North Carolina's history of losing in the national championship game one year, then to win it all the next (1981-82 and 2008-09), Williams reminded the team it has to win Saturday if they want to avenge last year's buzzer-beating loss.

"My biggest fear," Williams said, according to Andrew Carter of the News & Observer, "is that everyone's going to talk and those guys are going to talk about the national championship game last year. If we don't beat freakin' Oregon, we're out there in a Yoober trying to get our butts back to Chapel Hill. And so we've got to focus on Oregon, is what we have to focus on, and they will hear that a heck of a lot from me."

Pausing mid-answer, Williams knew he had said something wrong.

"Is it Yoober or Uber?" the coach asked.

When told it is Uber, with an "ew," Williams didn't miss a beat.

"I've got no hope with that," he said.

What Williams does hope, is that the Tar Heels can get by the high-flying Ducks and set up a chance to break a tie with archrival Duke for sole possession of third place in all-time national titles.
