					<description><![CDATA[I would bet money that the people who left Barnes off the list were local sports writers, who either cover Carolina or the ACC.  A lot of people who follow that team closely would have picked one of his teammates over Barnes.

If Barnes had been injured instead of Henson and Marshall, UNC would most likely have won the ACC tourney and probably would still be playing in the NCAAs.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I never had faith in Harrison from the day he left Ames. At the beginning of last year, he looked like putty against Minnesota&#039;s big men early in the season and he&#039;s never really developed a post presence. He&#039;s still never improved the way you expect players to over their college career.

As for Sullinger, I still think he is overrated, maybe I just got too used to seeing him garbage points and board in the last 5 minutes of his Big Ten games.

I don&#039;t think either of them is best big man on their team (Zeller, and Thomas), and can&#039;t imagine them being incredibly useful in the NUBA]]></description>

The article was meant to throw the hype blanket on all of us, so we&#039;re just as culpable as anybody else. I just don&#039;t think that the media as a general rule is comfortable with the idea that they&#039;re wrong as much as they&#039;re right. I&#039;d like to change that.]]></description>
