    Roy Williams kept screaming for his North Carolina team to play tougher and smarter, even ripping off his jacket at one point to drive home his message.

    His fifth-ranked Tar Heels responded, even as they were locked in a possession-to-possession game with a top 10 opponent less than a week after their first loss that knocked them from No. 1.

    Harrison Barnes scored 10 of his 20 points during the decisive second-half surge to help North Carolina rally past Wisconsin (No. 7 ESPN/USA Today, No. 9 AP) 60-57 on Wednesday night, a victory that came only after the Tar Heels strung together enough defensive stops and got enough rebounds to aid their struggling offense.
