Roy Williams leaves ticket in honor of Bo Ryan's late father
Richard Mackson-USA TODAY Sports
North Carolina may not be involved in the national championship game, but head coach Roy Williams found a way to leave a noticeable impact.
With Duke and Wisconsin slugging it out, Williams purchased a ticket at Lucas Oil Stadium to be left empty in honor of Badgers head coach Bo Ryan's father, who passed away in August 2013.
That's the kind of thing that helps make college basketball so great, as it demonstrates the immense respect these coaches have for one another.
