UNC-Creighton matchup in Des Moines rumored

Posted Jan 24, 2012
Sometimes a rumor is just a rumor. And sometimes it's a good idea. That's the case with this idea of Creighton playing UNC in Des Moines. The hook would be to bring former Ames High School mates Harrison Barnes and Doug McDermott together, down the road from their old haunt. Well, Barnes may or may not be at UNC in a year, but the Tar Heels are bringing in Marcus Paige, a four-star point guard from Linn-Mar High in Marion, Iowa. (Omaha World-Herald)
