John Henson’s needless last-second dunk draws Maryland’s ire

Why was this article even written? Let's interview all 20 teams we beat this year and find out what they didn't like about our wins. Is Jeff trying to be the new Chris Chase? Ridiculous...

Is that not part of the game. I see coaches that have their team still fould with only seconds left on the clock when there losing by double digits. That is worse than this. Get over it.

Should Henson maybe have eaten the ball? OK, maybe. But why all the whining out of College Park of late? First Lefty Driesell whines about the court being named after Gary Williams, instead of for instance Len Bias (which may have had the added benefit of generating naming rights funds from Coke) . . . or perhaps, by unstated implication, the Old Lefthander himself. Now this about a meaningless additional two points, which, if it was so meaningless, then why are they assigning so much meaning to it?

Hey, back in '08, when Gerald Henderson broke Tyler Hansbrough's nose in the closing seconds of a game Duke had alreadly lost, THAT was something to get upset about. But THIS? Grow up. It's just a game, folks.

What about the guy tryin' to attest the basket? They were just playin' basketball peeps!!!!

Oh no!!! The fragile psyches of the Terps have been crushed. They have been DISRESPECTED, the most horrible crime of the century. Maybe next time they will play a little something I like to call "defense".

Get this bullsh$t article out of here.

BREAKING NEWS: Maryland upset they did not receive 2nd place trophies from the game.

if maryland wasn't pressuring the ball and trapping unc could have dribbled out the clock. but if a team plays pressure defense at the end of the game, you can't expect the team ahead to just turn the ball over to them.

len elmore should not be allowed to do anymore maryland games. he was crying all game about maryland not even being worthy of being in the same gym as UNC. what is that all about? Maryland has an ok team and you expect them to be tough at home. then after the dunk elmore says "you can have your demonstration carolina but we put you through a dogfight today." he didn't even observe the trapping defense maryland was running until the game was over.

i sure don't blame maryland for continuing to play up to the end, but why accuse henson of lack of sportsmanship when UNC keeps playing too? and can someone get some inferiority complex counseling for len elmore?

Man people are sensitive these days. If I'm the MD defender and I've got a problem with it, I'm fouling him... HARD.

Otherwise just shut up.

If you don't want him to dunk it, stop him. Otherwise, shut your yapper and play better.

So John's defender can come to foul but he can not dunk? That makes loads of sense. If you are still going to play defense then the other team can run offense.

What a bunch of crybaby #$%$

Here is an idea Terps, stop him.

Maryland was continuing to play. They were pressuring the ball, trying to foul. So dont get upset when Carolina continues to play too. If you dont want the other team to try and score, dont try to foul them or rip the ball out.

Hard hitting journalism from a blog known as... "The Dagger!"

Who cares... you make it more of a problem when you write an article about it.

Easy enough problem to solve. Next time you play them, make sure you're ahead by four or more points when the clock reaches that point.

Sports fans and in particular losing ones are very fickle. They shout with glee when in the heat of a game a player completes a "statement making dunk." Yet since this particular flush by Tar Heel John Henson took place toward the end of a losing effort by Maryland Terps all the gentlemen sportsmen cry foul. Grow up, man up, and put on your big boy pants and take your loss. Learn from the experience and stop whining like wimp. The very essence of the sport emanates from being competitive, so compete and stop your crying.

He is a kid who dunked a basketball. Period. Nothing to see here....

I hate UNC but so what. Still time on the clock its game time suckers.
Turtles please got to the girls bathroom for your hugs, snack and participation ribbon.
