John Henson's play, smile motivates team

Posted Mar 19, 2011
John Henson smiled all the way to a career-high 28 points in his NCAA tournament debut against the Long Island Blackbirds. He tallied buckets on 10-of-16 shooting from the field and 8-of-10 from the line to go along with his 11 rebounds. He and fellow big man Tyler Zeller took advantage of their height against an undersized LIU team. Henson tied a team NCAA tournament record six blocks. (Daily Tar Heel)
