Harrison Barnes, youthful Tar Heels peaking at just the right time
Posted Mar 20, 2011
On Sunday the Tar Heels rallied from an 11-point first-half deficit to take an 84-83 lead with 7.4 seconds left. That's when the long arms of John Henson took control of the game. Guarding a Washington player trying to inbound the ball underneath the Huskies basket, Henson deflected the pass to teammate to Dexter Strickland, who was quickly fouled. Strickland then made two foul shots. Game over.
