As mentioned in a post a couple of weeks ago<\/a>, I\u2019d like to do some crowdsourcing from the people that have been generous enough to purchase a subscription to this site. Figuring that those folks are better informed than the average college hoops fan, we should take advantage of this knowledge. This evening I\u2019d like to do an initial test of this concept by having the audience predict the number of minutes Harrison Barnes will play for North Carolina during regulation time in tonight\u2019s game against Wisconsin. You can access the question from the banner on the home page<\/a>. Obviously, you have to be logged in to participate.<\/p>\n The extremely basic facts pertinent to this question (I want to avoid influencing the jury with my opinions): Feel free to do as much or little additional research as you want. Obviously, Barnes\u2019 minutes will be affected by factors other than his health. His health might even be a non-factor. That is for you to judge. I wouldn\u2019t recommend thinking about this for more than a minute or two, though.<\/p>\n This question will expire at 9 pm eastern and I\u2019ll do my best to reveal the group’s opinion before tip-off. This is really a test for bugs in the code and that logistically this concept can work. I\u2019ll record answers for each user that responds. You can submit as many answers as you want, but only the last response is recorded. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [Update: 144 people responded.

\n– Barnes rolled his ankle against UNLV last Saturday.
\n– He would return to the game, but leave the arena on crutches afterward.
\n– He will play tonight.
\n– Here\u2019s his player card at ESPN<\/a> for reference on his minutes played the past two seasons.<\/p>\n
