Posted Mar 5, 2012
Harrison Barnes cupped his hand to his ear and turned to the Duke student section, while John Henson flapped his arms and Kendall Marshall clapped enthusiastically. UNC was putting the finishing touches on an 88-70 win at Duke Saturday that clinched the ACC regular season title. Barnes made clear he wasn’t mocking the Duke players. “The fans. Always the fans,” Barnes said. “Always the Jersey kids.”
