Paige makes sure Tar Heels roll into East final with win over Indiana

Posted Mar 26, 2016
Marcus Paige made certain that No. 1 North Carolina wouldn’t be done on Friday against No. 5 Indiana and sent the Tar Heels into the Elite Eight for the first time in his career with a 101-86 win. It started 33 seconds into the game, when Paige curled up to the top of the key from the wing, took the ball and saw some space. He fired. Swish. (Greensboro News & Record)
