Tar Heels crush Barton
Posted Nov 6, 2010
UNC's Harrison Barnes might have been the first freshman named preseason All-American since voting began before the 1986-87 season, but it was junior Tyler Zeller who stole the show in the Tar Heels' exhibition game against Barton on Friday. The forward scored 25 points, mostly on dunks in transition, to lead the No. 8 Tar Heels to a 106-67 rout in front of a three-quarters full Smith Center.
