Juniors rally, win

PORTLAND, Ore. – North Carolina-bound Harrison Barnes scored 27 points and the U.S. Junior National Select Team beat a team of young international players 101-97 at the Nike Hoop Summit on Saturday night.

Barnes, a 6-foot-8 guard from Ames (Iowa) High School, hit a key 3-pointer that put Team USA up 94-92 with just over a minute left – after trailing by 74-62 going into the fourth quarter.

Although Canadian Cory Joseph’s layup tied it at 94, the world team could not pull back ahead.

Enes Kanter, a 6-foot-10 Kentucky recruit, had 34 points and 13 rebounds.
