Posted May 26, 2019
Marcus Paige finished with 35 points, 31 in the second half and overtime of the Tar Heels' 85-84 win in Raleigh on Feb 26, 2014. T.J. Warren, whose desperation heave fell short at the buzzer, ended with 36 of his own, in what would have been an all-time Wolfpack performance. The Tar Heels had their 10th straight victory and Paige had his signature moment. (Tar Heel Blog)
