Tar Heels charge back toward the top at Virginia Tech's expense

Posted Jan 19, 2012
This Harrison Barnes guy can play a little bit. The 6-8 Tar Heels' sophomore finished with 27 points in 30 minutes of playing time. When the game finally ended, no one charged the court. Virginia Tech students filed quietly out of Cassell Coliseum, perhaps to charge the library, or wherever students charge on a Thursday night in a college town. Meanwhile, the Tar Heels are charging back toward the top of the national rankings. (Richmond Times-Dispatch)
