Roy Williams' milestone victories are starting to blend together for No. 11 North Carolina.

The Tar Heels gave their Hall of Fame coach his 600th career win Sunday night, an 80-73 triumph over pesky Nevada behind a career-high 23 points from Deon Thompson.

"We went in the locker room and I was thinking, 'I was just here,' and it was for his 500th win," Thompson said. "Now I'm here for his 600th. It feels like I've been here forever, but it's definitely cool to be part of coach Williams' history and Carolina history."
