Barnes scored 23 points (14 in the second half) against Miami as the Tar Heels came back to win 74-63. This season, Barnes is second in the ACC in scoring with 18 points per game.

University of North Carolina guard Harrison Barnes is questionable for Saturday’s game against Maryland with a sprained ankle, according to ESPN.com.

“I won’t know everything until after practice today, and I shouldn’t say ‘everything,’ because if it swells up again after practice, I won’t know that until late, after we get up to Maryland,” Tar Heel coach Roy Williams said Friday. “But I expect him to be able to go a little bit today; he said it was feeling a heck of a lot better yesterday.”

Barnes leads UNC in scoring at 17.3 points per game.
