DURHAM - C.J. Leslie clapped in disgust late Tuesday night as Ryan Harrow's pass slipped through his fingers and out of bounds, the fumble preventing what would have been an easy layup.
It was that kind of night for N.C. State recruits Leslie, Ryan Harrow, Lorenzo Brown and Joseph Uchebo of Team McGladrey in the North Carolina Pro-Am Summer League at N.C. Central.
They ran out to an 18-point, first-half lead, but trailed by halftime and ultimately fell for the second time to Team Stackhouse, whose roster includes North Carolina freshmen Reggie Bullock and Harrison Barnes, Tar Heel sophomore John Henson, and Tar Heel commitment P.J. Hairston.
After defeating Team McGladrey 82-72 a week earlier, Team Stackhouse rallied for a 59-51 win in the rematch.
"We fought back," Henson said. ". . .That's what we always do at Carolina. It's a good preview of what we have to do this year, fight back from early deficits."
Barnes, the top-rated recruit in the Class of 2010, led Team Stackhouse with 18 points. Harrow scored 17 points to lead Team McGladrey, which played without N.C. State senior Tracy Smith. Leslie added 16 points, including two free throws that put his team ahead 47-46 late in the game. But Barnes answered with a 3-pointer and two free throws as the lead changed hands for the last time.
Leslie shot 4-for-12 from the foul line, missing seven in a row at one point. N.C. State fans, whose roars filled the gym as Team McGladrey built the early lead, exited quietly as Team Stackhouse ran out the clock.

Agreed...the Holes have NO PG or PF..or C, for that matter...to compete with DOOK this season.....B&B will make it closer for sure.....and there will most likely be no repeats of the Outhouse game on March 6th ......ka plop....
"Had DOOK NOT scored a point in the 2nd half...they would STILL have WON the game by 3 !!" ("YOU CAN NOT BE SERIOUS, ol Roy !!")
Refresh my memory...
Thu, 07/22/2010 - 18:50 — bradleyb123Exactly how did DOOK make cow college look silly last year? (In basketball, obviously, since that's the topic...)
By getting clobbered by 14 points in Raleigh?
DUKE

Smart move by the UNC
Wed, 07/21/2010 - 16:10 — UNCJournalismSmart move by the UNC players (which included a pro player) to start fouling a lot. With a running clock and CJL struggling from the line with a taped finger, it paid off in a comeback win. Barnes is very good but CJL gives him trouble. It will be fun to watch them in an organized setting.
Looking good
Wed, 07/21/2010 - 11:48 — JPDOhioSaw some highlights of the game earlier today.
All of the Pack players, including Ochebo, looked very good. Of course, the highlights focus on the positive (not one missed FT by Leslie was featured). But, still, the talent and athleticism is obvious, and there were multiple examples of unselfish play. The low score was an indication of how competitive these games have gotten.
I haven't seen highlights of UNC's or Duke's incoming freshmen, but the stats speak for themselves. The ACC's stellar freshman class is going to make this a year of surprises.
