Posted Mar 4, 2011
Harrison Barnes' arc follows the Heels'. The 6-8, 210-pound forward is operating more comfortably and confidently on the wing in coach Roy Williams' system, averaging better than 17 points in his last 10 games and showing a willingness to take - and ability to hit - the big shot. None has been bigger than Wednesday night's, a three-to beat Florida State and preserve the magnitude of the looming showdown with Duke. (USA Today)
