Posted Feb 6, 2008

UNC fans remember which Duke player broke Tyler Hansbrough’s nose last year, and Gerald Henderson expects to hear the rancorous sounds of total recall right before the opening tip tonight. When a reporter cited this prospect of single-target booing, Coach Mike Krzyzewski recoiled. “Just Gerald?” Krzyzewski said, grinning his way through a bout of mock horror. “You mean I won’t be booed? I’m going to be disappointed." (Winston-Salem Journal)
