Despite his team's 32-point loss Saturday at Cameron Indoor Stadium, North Carolina forward John Henson will have reason to root for Duke a couple years from now.
Well, for the women's team, that is.
Henson's sister Amber, a junior at Tampa's Sickles High, verbally committed to the Blue Devils on Sunday night, according to The St. Petersburg Times.
Duke beat out Florida, Maryland, Stanford, Texas and UNC for the 6-feet-4 player, who averaged 22.1 points per game and 12.1 rebounds this season.
"Even though going to school with John would be great, I tried to ignore all the pressure to go there because of him and think about where I'd be most comfortable without him," Amber Henson told The Times. "But make no mistake, when he plays Duke, I will definitely be sitting being the Carolina bench in light blue supporting my brother."
John Henson, who moved into UNC's starting lineup late in the season, will be a junior by by the time his sister is a freshman at Duke -- if he stays in school that long, rather than hopping early to the NBA.
On his Twitter account Sunday night, John Henson tweeted: "Tried my hardest but, Congrats to my Sister on her commitment to dook....guess ill be making a few more trips over there than expected lol."

Henson is not talented enough for the NBA. He should quit crying and prep for next year! Embarasing! Go Heels!
If the sister sits behind the holes bench in baby boy blue, she will not be at Duke long! No one like traitors.
ever heard of supporting your family. blood is deeper than any shade of blue. oh yeah, go heels.
So Carolina Homer, would you then be ok with John sitting behind the Duke bench cheering her on against the Lady Heels? I assume so-
Yeah who cares? As long as they play hard IN THE GAMES, I could care less what they do off the court as long as it does not affect the team. Roy Williams should have worn that Kansas sticker. I am glad he did....
You are ALL TRATORS! Roy needs to retire! Maybe a real COACH like Bill Self will come? What a nightmare!
Blood is not thicker than Carolina Blue Blood! Henson is a turncoat.
Go Heels......Henson will be a star at UNC and we will be headed to our 3 National Championship in eight Years......Roy has been at UNC for a short period of time and has almopst as many National Championships as rat face.....Roy is God.........
