Marcus Paige ruined N.C. State’s upset bid, scoring 10 of UNC’s 14 overtime points including the final basket as the 19th-ranked Tar Heels stretched their winning streak to 10 games with an 85-84 victory at PNC Arena. “I think my teammates and I both knew that the way the game was going, the ball needed to be in my hands,” Paige said. “Once I saw the window, the rest is history.” (Rocky Mount Telegram)
