Harrison Barnes leads UNC to 82-68 win over Va. Tech
Posted Jan 19, 2012
This time they fought back. Harrison Barnes made a shot. And after a Hokies turnover he made another. That’s how the Tar Heels began a 19-0 game-changing run that carried them to a 82-68 victory against Virginia Tech. Barnes, who finished with 27, scored eight of UNC’s first 10 points during the run. Two of those came on an aggressive one-handed dunk that helped silence the arena.
