John Henson, a 6-foot-10 sophomore forward, is confident that the 75-58 loss to Duke in the ACC tournament championship game got the attention of every player on the team. "As a team, we didn't come to play," Henson said. "They were more aggressive. They had more 'want to' than us. We've got to come prepared for our games this week." (Winston-Salem Journal)
