DALLAS — The most polarizing player in recent college basketball history follows the hostess down the hall of the dimly-lit Japanese steakhouse, where chefs juggle knives and toss shrimp toward the mouths of eager patrons, as if they were feeding animals at a zoo.
Marshall Henderson decided to eat at Benihana after reading about it online—"It sounds amaaazzziiinnngg," he'd said earlier that afternoon—but the former Ole Miss star didn't realize diners here are seated in groups. He seems puzzled when the hostess directs him toward a table occupied by four strangers.
"Umm, we're not with them," Henderson says, but he's told he has no choice.
