Hurricanes remember tough loss to Tar Heels

Posted Mar 11, 2011
Miami gets a chance to revisit one of its most painful moments of the season when it faces top-seed North Carolina today. On Jan. 26, the Tar Heels pulled out a 74-71 victory when Harrison Barnes hit a pair of key late jumpers, helping build his reputation as the Tar Heels’ most clutch scoring option. That performance didn’t go unnoticed by the Hurricanes. (Gaston Gazette)
