Harrison Barnes coming up in the clutch for Tar Heels

Posted Jan 29, 2011
There’s little doubt that UNC freshman Harrison Barnes has plenty of the tools to achieve basketball stardom. He’s got the frame, the hunger and the trophy case that speak to his lofty potential. He’s even got a cool nickname: The Black Falcon. Barnes’ game-winning 3-pointer in the final seconds of Wednesday night’s 74-71 victory at Miami was another moment in which Barnes has shown that he is unmistakably clutch. (Gaston Gazette)
