North Carolina will head into an NCAA tournament third-round game today trying to advance to the Midwest Regional semifinals but still uncertain about the playing status of John Henson. Henson, a 6-foot-11 forward with a sprained left wrist, still hasn't been cleared to play. North Carolina will play Creighton at 5:15 p.m. at the Greensboro Coliseum, with the winner to advance to St. Louis for next week's play. (Winston-Salem Journal)
