With 10 seconds left Groves pushed the ball upcourt and fed Keenan Ready who tried to take it in for a virtual game-clinching dunk. But Ready was blocked and the long rebound was kicked out to Henry. He scored 23 points in the first half and was held to just six more throughout the third and fourth quarters... until the final second. Henry pulled up from the 3-point line and hit the game-winner. Players and coaches rushed the court and a wild celebration followed.
Keenan Ready led the Rebels with 18 points. Dominique Elliott chipped in with 10 and Luther Huling and Brandon Mobley each scored 9.
