John Henson has different vantage point after injury, status for semifinals uncertain

Posted Mar 9, 2012
Less than five minutes into the game, John Henson went down hard after a foul by Ashton Pankey. The 6-foot-11 junior and game-altering defensive presence got up clutching his left wrist. It was the same wrist that needed a splint after he injured it last season. "It kind of feels the same, same muscles," Henson said. "I've kind of felt this pain before." (Fayetteville Observer)
