Barnett Harris: A member of the Blue Hen family

Contributors

These are good days to be affiliated with Delaware basketball. Earlier in the week, the Blue Hens knocked off Virginia of the ACC on the Cavs’ home court to earn a trip to Madison Square Garden for the Preseason NIT semifinals. Barnett Harris, a 6’9″ forward from Monroeville, Pa., was all smiles Wednesday talking about his decision to sign with Delaware to continue his basketball career. “I considered myself a part of the Blue Hen family when I committed about a month ago. Now I just made it official. It’s a little less weight on my shoulders. Now I can just focus on preparing myself for Delaware,” Harris said.

Down 20-13 with a minute to go in the third quarter, Virginia had a fourth-and-goal at the North Carolina 1. Punch it in, the game is tied. Kevin Parks, instead, was tackled behind the line of scrimmage for a two-yard loss. The Tar Heels took the ensuing drive 97 yards on 12 plays for a backbreaking touchdown, and the rest was history as UNC dominated the Cavs in the fourth quarter en route to a 37-13 shellacking in Virginia’s 2012 home finale.
