CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — Freshman Harrison Barnes had 13 points to lead the White team in North Carolina’s intrasquad scrimmage to start the preseason practice Friday night.

Barnes, regarded by many as the nation’s top recruit, was 6 of 10 from the field in unofficial stats kept by reporters. Barnes had a chance to give his team the win in the final seconds, but lost the ball while trying to split two defenders in a scrimmage that ended in a 31-31 tie.

Fellow freshman Reggie Bullock hit the tying 3-pointer with about 16 seconds left for the Blue team. Kendall Marshall, the third member of the touted recruiting class, missed both of his shots and was called for two charging fouls.

Sophomore Dexter Strickland scored 16 points lead Blue.
