Harrison Barnes is a freshman at North Carolina. Harrison Barnes hit a huge 3-pointer to beat Florida State last night. Sure, he could have missed this shot, but if you watch the video it didn’t seem like it was ever in doubt.
The importance of the shot? A chance to win the ACC regular season championship this weekend at home vs. Duke. Could you have scripted it any better? No, you really couldn’t have. I saw this game’s line last night at -3 for North Carolina. I said to myself, “Damn that could be a trap game for them.” The fact is they could have easily lost in Tallahassee (like Duke did earlier this year) rendering this weekend’s game meaningless. However…..
Barnes calmly stroked the 3, and now we have a HELLUVA game to look forward to this weekend. March is here folks, and THAT was a huge shot for the freshman.
