CHAPEL HILL — Seven hours before the start of his team’s game here against Texas on Wednesday night, North Carolina’s Harrison Barnes was already in the Smith Center, waiting for the Longhorns shoot-around to end. Roy Williams, the Tar Heels coach, had told his players to arrive at 1:45 for a shoot-around of their own.

But Barnes was there by noon, waiting to go onto the court. Williams recounted the story after North Carolina’s 82-63 victory against the Longhorns – after Barnes scored a season-high 26 points and broke out of a slump, by his standards, in which he’d scored just nine points in each of UNC’s past two games.
