Harrison Barnes says 'no' to N.C. State rivalry

Posted Feb 24, 2011
When Harrison Barnes was asked after the game if this game felt more like a rivalry than January’s 20-point shelling at the Smith Center, Barnes didn’t quite feel the UNC-N.C. State game constituted a rivalry. “I wouldn’t say it’s a rivalry, but they’re probably the most competitive game we’ve played all year,” Barnes said. North Carolina holds the series record at 144-75 and have won 16 of the last 17 games. (Daily Tar Heel)
