The Morning After: Dunks, curses, fouls and bench play

Posted Feb 5, 2012
Maryland fans were none too happy when North Carolina forward John Henson ended Saturday’s 83-74 win at Comcast Center with an emphatic dunk -- even though the sixth-ranked Tar Heels were already leading by seven. UNC coach Roy Williams would have preferred that the game end differently, as well. Henson, who finished with 17 points and 12 rebounds, said he didn’t regret the decision. (ESPN.com)
