Roy Williams watches Valley scare Ames, Harrison Barnes
Posted Jan 6, 2010
After Monday night’s stunning loss to College of Charleston, North Carolina basketball coach Roy Williams delayed his flight to see Ames recruit Harrison Barnes until Tuesday. “We were so disappointed from last night’s game,” he said with a laugh. “I was afraid to get on an airplane or anything.” Popcorn in hand Tuesday night, Williams smiled through a stream of picture- and autograph-seeking fans to watch as Barnes and the Ames boys basketball team struggled past one-win West Des Moines Valley, 77-58.
