There's no reason to be playing that agressive with 14 seconds left, down by 12. He was "going for the ball", with his elbow? Complete bs. And for all those who say "They shouldnt have been running up the score", what are you supposed to do when the other team is still playing agressively, just give up and watch them score? The refs got it right, Billy Packer is an idiot, Henderson got what he deserved, and if Duke and Carolina meet in the ACC Final, you can bet there will be some bloodshed.

yes Billy Packer blew my mind last night! "Without question, he was clearly going for the ball..........this is just a bad piece of officiating".........whatever Billy, how can you be so blind and ignorant. If ANYONE except Jim Nantz (who is a complete moron when it comes to sports) would have been paired with him, they could have cut him off and grabbed his shoulder and said, sorry Billy, you are wrong buddy!
I get tired of these guys who know absolutely nothing about sports calling games (especially nantz and brent musburger). Did anyone hear Jim Nantz say that was arguably Roy William's biggest win at UNC considering it was the difference of a 1 seed and a 5 seed in the ACC tourney? Hahahaha......how about when he won the national title a couple years ago you retard?
anyways, this was definitely an intentional, hard foul. the ball wasn't anywhere near the elbow, and if you watch henderson before tyler got the ball, he was standing there watching, and he clearly charged in there with the intentions of a hard foul. Now, I don't think he intended to hurt Hansborough the way he did, but anyone who says he was going for the ball is insane, or a Duke fan in denial.
I hate Duke, but Coach K is all class and after he sees this on video, he will suspend Henderson for at least 2 games, maybe the entire ACC tourney

It will be interesting to see if Coach ChickenLips suspends Henderson even more games. According to the paper, the coach said he will look at the film and if he thought it was uncalled for, he would add on his own suspension.
Well, everyone knows it was uneceesary and excessive blocking. Will Coach ChickenLips own up to it?
Henderson came from near the sideline to charge into the pack to 'block' the ball. Funny his teammate is HOLDING the ball on the floor beside him when he performed his karate chop.
Henderson was out of line.........he needs to learn that revenge isn't sweet...it's costly.
Duke's colors are shining through on this one.
added note:
Seems Coach ChickenLips is not going to own up to the flagrant foul as unnecessary. He's back to complaining about the refs issuing the one game suspension. Those 'turning a blind eye ' looks at the video worked wonders for his perspective, evidently.
Just another item to add to my list of why I don't like him.

Tyler was about to get taken out of the game and replaced by Michael Copeland, but Bobby missed the second free throw and Tyler just happened to get his hands on it. And please- Duke still had 3 (I think) starters out on the floor. And finally, anyone who knows anything about the Duke vs. UNC rivarly will remember the time UNC scored 8 points in 17 seconds to come back and beat Duke- anything could happen.

I agree.I like Gerald, think he will be a thorn in Carolina's side for years to come, but that type of play was unnecessary.However, it may be the fuel that is needed for Carolina to come out of its daze and whomp some butt.

Henderson is a punk-a** Philly thug, and Wayne Ellington should be ashamed that he ever called him a friend.
Coach K is a rat faced retarded idiot no good lying sack of sh*t.
Billy Packer should change his first name to "Fudge"
