After La Salle beat Ole Miss 74-74 in the third round of the NCAA Tournament, Marshall Henderson had quite a temper tantrum. He kicked water bottles over as he was walking off the court and then gave the crowd a parting gift of double middle fingers before he reached the tunnel. Henderson spoke about the incident with the media after the game:
I asked Marshall Henderson why he flipped off the crowd: "someone yelled that my sister is a whore and said something about cocaine."

Henderson said he's always going to react, especially when someone says something to him after a loss and "in a moment like that."

There have been some conflicting reports from fans about what was said, but I’m not sure we’ll ever know what actually happened.
FWIW, my friend who was sitting near the tunnel where Henderson gave the fingers… they said nothing about his sister/cocaine

She said that they were booing Henderson for kicking water bottles as he walked out…

All I know is Marshall Henderson is one of the most polarizing basketball players in the country.
