Ty Walker gives John Henson a taste of his own medicine

Posted Feb 16, 2011
John Henson has made a name for himself by swatting shots back into the faces of others. His 75 blocks are the most in the ACC this season. Tuesday, courtesy of Wake Forest’s Ty Walker, the UNC sophomore got a taste of what it’s like when the roles are reversed. “It was surreal,” he said after having three of his own shots rejected by Walker in Tuesday’s 78-64 win against the Deacons.
