Harrison Barnes Lifts UNC Past Clemson

Posted Mar 12, 2011
Before he ever played a game in Chapel Hill Harrison Barnes did something no freshman player ever had, when he was named a pre-season All-American. In the semi-finals of the ACC Tournament Barnes did it again, becoming the first freshman to score 40 in an ACC Tournament game. Along the way Barnes kept his team in it early against Clemson, brought it back late and won it for UNC in overtime. (ACC Sports Journal)
