North Carolina Tar Heels' Roy Williams reaches 900 wins

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- North Carolina coach Roy Williams became the fourth Division I men's basketball coach to reach 900 wins on Saturday, and was able to celebrate the milestone in front of home fans for the first time this season.

Down 16 points to No. 11 Florida State shortly before halftime, the Tar Heel rode a 20-point performance from freshman Walker Kessler to mount a comeback against the ACC's top team.

UNC joined Williams at midcourt to quickly celebrate with the longtime coach, raising a framed No. 900 jersey in his honor.
