FAYETTEVILLE -- Ethan Henderson played just 20 minutes in the University of Arkansas men's basketball team's first seven games, and he hadn't played at all in the previous three going into Tuesday night's matchup against Austin Peay.
But with Reggie Chaney and Adrio Bailey on the bench with two fouls each, and Jeantal Cylla struggling, Razorbacks Coach Eric Musselman turned to Henderson late in the first half. The 6-8 sophomore from Little Rock Parkview delivered.
Henderson provided a major lift to help the Razorbacks overcome a slow start for a 69-61 victory over the Governors.
After Cylla missed a layup and committed a frustration foul a second later that gave Eli Abaev two free throws -- which he hit to put Austin Peay ahead 17-16 with 7:26 left in the half -- Henderson came into the game.
