John Henson, Tar Heels withstand upset bid by Cougars

Posted Nov 29, 2010
John Henson said he felt like he had something to prove in the rematch with the College of Charleston after the Cougars handed the Tar Heels one of their most stunning losses a year ago. And the sophomore did not disappoint at the Smith Center on Sunday. Henson was the only Tar Heel to score in double figures, finishing with a career-high 19 points to help No. 25 UNC hang on for a 74-69 win over Charleston. (Durham Herald-Sun)
