WINSTON-SALEM—Saturday afternoon, Roy Williams orchestrated Carolina's biggest win over Wake Forest in program history.
Friday night, four miles from Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum, he did something much more impressive.
Close observers of the Tar Heel head coach might have noticed that Williams has been wearing a blue bracelet in recent weeks. The bracelet is in honor of LewLew Whayne, a junior at East Chapel Hill High School. For over a year, LewLew has battled a series of gastrointestinal and digestive disorders that have completely changed her life. It started with Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome, a disease so rare that it took three months just to find a surgeon who was capable of attempting to fix it.
