Harrison Barnes key in comeback

Posted Jan 14, 2011
North Carolina coach Roy Williams was candid with wing Harrison Barnes after the freshman’s 12-point, 5-rebound, 6-turnover performance in the Tar Heels’ come-from-behind victory over Virginia Tech on Thursday night. “I said, ‘Your game stunk,’’’ Williams told reporters after his team rallied from a 16-point deficit to win 64-61. “But God Almighty were you good for about a six-minute stretch there.’” (Raleigh News & Observer)
