Canes reward: a rematch with Tar Heels

Posted Mar 11, 2011
Minutes after Miami moved into the ACC Tournament quarterfinals with a miracle 69-62 win against Virginia, its focus shifted to top-seed North Carolina. “We’ve got to find Harrison Barnes immediately,” guard Malcolm Grant joked, “because he hit two big shots [in UNC’s win at UM on Jan. 26]. We’re going to find him before he comes into the arena and make sure he doesn’t do that again.” (South Florida Sun-Sentinel)
