Harrison Barnes impressive in UNC Basketball debut

Posted Oct 18, 2010
Early in Friday night’s “Blue vs. White” scrimmage at Late Night with Roy, highly touted freshman swingman Harrison Barnes caught the ball on the top-left edge of the 3-point line. In one fluid motion — a slash to the basket and a thunderous one-handed slam — the 6-foot-8 Iowa native let North Carolina fans know that after a dismal 2009-10 campaign, “next year” had finally arrived.
