John Henson propels UNC to Sweet 16

Posted Mar 20, 2011
No one relates as well with the Washington Huskies right now than Dan Bolick, a 5-foot-10 senior walk-on for North Carolina. One of Bolick’s jobs (punishments?) in practice is inbounding the ball against 6-foot-10 John Henson and his 88-inch wingspan. “The first two weeks of practice he probably deflected 80 percent of my passes inbounds,” Bolick said following UNC’s nail-gnawing 86-83 win over Washington on Sunday afternoon.
