Henderson takes out Hansbrough

Rumor has it that UNC and Duke don't like each other -- particularly when it comes to basketball. So Duke's Gerald Henderson fouled UNC's Tyler Hansbrough during the waning moments of a recent game (breaking his nose and splattering blood all over the court), it didn't really help matters.

Frankly, when we first watched this, it really does look like Henderson did it on purpose. However, keep watching -- around the 1:48 mark, you'll see a slow-motion closeup shot that shows Henderson swiping at the ball, with his face turned away from Hansbrough. We think it was just an accident, but the refs don't agree -- Henderson was suspended for one game. More pictures and coverage of the story here from AOL Sports.
