Off the cuff: Everybody was looking to Harrison Barnes, who did score 14 points, but it was sophomore John Henson who stole the show. Henson won't have smaller guys to pick on when the ACC season starts but he did have career highs with seven blocks and 17 rebounds. Henson has put on 25 pounds and says he tries to eat five or six times a day in order to keep on weight. Don't hate him 'cause he's thin. He's worked his weight up to 210 and says he's able to hold his ground better and not get knocked off his spot as easily as he did last year. The biggest shot of the game, however, was made by Leslie McDonald he drilled one from the baseline after the Bisons had cut the lead to just three. The basket started a 10-2 run that opened the game up with less than five minutes to go. Even though Carolina defeated a veteran and good mid-major team, and the Heels got to make a fresh start after a disappointing season last year, Coach Roy Williams seemed to be a little testy after the game. He ranted about the locks not working correctly on the lockerroom doors and then, when a sportswriter's cell phone rang, he said, he better answer it because "it might be your girlfriend ... or your wife." He clarified to say that he saw he was wearing a wedding ring so he changed it from girlfriend to wife but it certainly sounded sarcastic at the time.
