    North Carolina's big three will be coming back as a complete set, with freshman forward Harrison Barnes announcing Monday he would also return.

    "As a team, we're preparing for a special season," Barnes said in a news release. "My offseason plans are to diligently work on honing my basketball skills in all areas with one team-goal in mind -- to bring the 2012 national championship home to UNC."

    Barnes' commitment comes a week and a half after Tar Heels big men Tyler Zeller, a junior, and sophomore John Henson said they would return in an effort to improve on an NCAA tournament run that ended with a 76-69 loss to Kentucky in the Elite Eight.

    The Tar Heels also will have last season's starting guards Dexter Strickland and Kendall Marshall back in the lineup.
