COLLEGE
Sek Henry played four NCAA seasons for the Nebraska Cornhuskers men's basketball from 2006–07 through 2009–10, finishing as one of the program’s most durable guards in that era by appearing in every game across his career (128 games) and starting 99 of them. As a freshman in 2006–07, Henry became the first player to sign for head coach Doc Sadler at Nebraska and immediately worked into the starting group, starting 15 of the first 16 games and 18 games overall while averaging 5.8 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 1.7 assists. He opened his career with an efficient season debut (8 points and 4 assists without a turnover) and later produced a 20-point outing against Houston at the Rainbow Classic, plus a perfect shooting night against Savannah State (7-for-7 from the field) that also included 5 assists with no turnovers. In 2007–08 (sophomore), Henry played in all 33 games with 19 starts and averaged 5.9 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 1.5 assists, while also earning the Big 12 Commissioner’s Fall Honor Roll recognition. He had several impact road performances in conference play, including 14 points at Missouri (4-for-7 from three) and late threes in a win at Texas A&M. Henry’s junior season in 2008–09 was his first major jump in role and production, starting 29 of 31 games and finishing third on the team in scoring at 8.0 points per game while adding 3.4 rebounds, 64 assists, and 29 steals. He logged 13 double-figure scoring games, twice matched then-career highs of 19 points (vs Saint Louis and vs Florida A&M), set a career-high 9 rebounds in the home finale vs Iowa State (with 8 points and 4 assists), and in the National Invitation Tournament he led Nebraska with 13 points while going 7-for-7 at the line, setting a school postseason record for made free throws in a game without a miss. As a senior in 2009–10, Henry averaged 7.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game, finishing second on the team with a career-high 91 assists and producing his best assist-to-turnover season (91-to-56). He set a senior-year scoring high with 21 points in a double-overtime win over Texas Tech (6-for-11 shooting, three threes, 6-for-6 FT, and six assists with zero turnovers) and recorded his only career double-double with 11 points and 11 assists against TCU, narrowly missing a triple-double by also grabbing a season-high 7 rebounds. By the end of his Nebraska career, Henry ranked third in school history in games played (128), sixth in games started (99), and finished with 256 career assists (noted as 14th in school history), with Nebraska’s official bio also crediting him for helping the program to 70 wins and two postseason appearances during his four-year run.

The 16-year-old Australian talent is a 6'6" point guard widely tipped as a future NBA lottery pick who reportedly turned down US college offers worth up to $3 million to stay home. He didn't do it for comfort. He didn't do it for safety. According to Paul, he did it…
