Top-seeded North Carolina beat Creighton 87-73 Sunday to advance to the Sweet 16.

Forward John Henson returned from a wrist sprain to score 13 points, grab 10 rebounds and block four shots. All five UNC starters scored in double-digits.

But excitement from the win was short-lived in the Tar Heel locker room. Kendall Marshall was evaluated after taking a hard fall in the game and it was determined that the point guard fractured his right wrist.

His status for upcoming games is questionable.
