Harrison Barnes will enter the NBA draft if North Carolina wins the national championship.

"The goal is to win a national championship, so, if you do that, it’s a no-brainer," Barnes said. "Our goal is just to win the national championship. I feel like this team, if we continue to mature, we have a great shot. And if that happens, then that’s all she wrote."

Barnes was projected as a lottery pick in last year's draft, but said he has no regrets about remaining in school.

"Not at all," said Barnes, who has raised his scoring average to 17.7 per game. "Especially when I saw the schedule, how many days they're playing three games in a row (over three nights). That’s crazy. I love college basketball. To be able to start on time and be able to go out and play on the aircraft carrier (in North Carolina’s Nov. 11 game against Michigan State onboard the USS Carl Vinson in San Diego) and do those kind of great things, I don’t regret it whatsoever."

He indicated he will leave open his option to return if the Tar Heels don’t win it all.
