John Henson vs. N.C. State: A look back

ATLANTA - If John Henson's injured left wrist keeps him out of North Carolina's ACC tournament semifinal game against N.C. State here on Friday, the Wolfpack likely wouldn't be too disappointed. Henson has simply dominated N.C. State throughout his career, and the Wolfpack hasn't had any answer for him inside.

Here's a look at how Henson has fared against N.C. State during the past three seasons:

Jan. 26, 2010 - North Carolina 77, N.C. State 63
7 minutes
2 points
1-2 FG
0-2 FT
0 offensive rebounds
2 defensive rebounds
3 blocks

Feb. 13, 2010 - North Carolina 74, N.C. State 61
26 minutes
9 points
4-9 FG
1-5 FT
3 offensive rebounds
5 defensive rebounds
3 blocks

Jan. 29, 2011 - North Carolina 84, N.C. State 64
30 minutes
16 points
6-10 FG
4-8 FT
4 offensive rebounds
12 defensive rebounds
7 blocks

Feb. 23, 2011 - North Carolina 75, N.C. State 63
33 minutes
8 points
3-7 FG
2-2 FT
4 offensive rebounds
11 defensive rebounds
6 blocks

Jan. 26, 2012 - North Carolina 74, N.C. State 55
28 minutes
9 points
4-9 FG
1-4 FT
2 offensive rebounds
8 defensive rebounds
5 blocks

Feb. 21, 2012 - North Carolina 86, N.C. State 74
33 minutes
14 points
6-11 FG
2-4 FT
2 offensive rebounds
11 defensive reboundsd
2 blocks

So in UNC's past four games against N.C. State, Henson has averaged 11.8 points, 13.5 rebounds and five blocks per game. If Henson is unable to play - and it appears there's a good chance he won't - then freshman James Michael McAdoo would make his first career start. McAdoo finished with 14 points and a team-high 8 rebounds in UNC's 85-69 victory against Maryland on Friday. McAdoo played a career-high 29 minutes.
