Coach Williams said he knew Barnes would have a big game. “He’s a competive youngster and he’s very gifted,” he said. “I told him that if you’re my biggest worry, I’ve got a nice situation.”
While things haven’t gone that well for Barnes lately, having failed to reach double figures in the last two games, Coach Williams said that big opponents fire him up.
