Who to blame, Marshall or Barnes?
As much as UNC missed Marshall, I think Barnes is more to blame for the loss. If he hits a decent percentage of his shots they would have not gone to OT against Ohio and probably would have beaten Kansas. I know Marshall gets Barnes easier looks but come on. White and Watts filled in pretty good and combined for about Marshall's average. I realize that neither are nearly the playmaker that Marshall is, but you would think the 2 time pre-season All-American and team's leading scorer could manage to hit a few shots without Marshall holding him by the hand.
Dan Patrick's take on Barnes (on his radio show today)
Dan Patrick's comment on Barnes was that he played "politely" this weekend. I hadn't thought of it that way.
Hearing that made me wonder if Barnes was worried about injury, and especially about his draft stock.
