Defense wins it for UNC

Posted Feb 20, 2011
With UNC leading by two points and the clock ticking at 10, then nine, then eight Saturday afternoon, John Henson crouched down in a defensive stance, clapped once and wiped his brow, eyes intently on Reggie Jackson. He then said to himself, “C’mon, J. One more time.” The BC junior made a short move and then launched from the top of the key. Miss. Game over. UNC wins 48-46. (Fox Sports South)
