Tyler Zeller, John Henson tall order for opponents

Posted Mar 27, 2011
Three games into the NCAA Tournament, and it's not too difficult to figure out North Carolina's game plan -- get the ball to Tyler Zeller or John Henson. Seven-foot Zeller enters today's Elite Eight matchup with Kentucky at the Prudential Center averaging 27.3 points and 8.7 rebounds in three tournament games. Henson, who stands at 6-10 with a 7-4 wingspan, is averaging 17.3 points, 11.0 rebounds. (Durham Herald-Sun)
