UNC basketball looks for Paige complement

Posted Oct 8, 2014
UNC guard Marcus Paige made the jump from a solid starter to an all-American last season, illustrated by a win over N.C. State in Raleigh in which he scored 31 points after halftime and made the winning shot in the final second of overtime. Now the Tar Heels are looking for one of Paige’s teammates to make a similar leap this season as UNC seeks its first Final Four appearance since winning the 2009 NCAA title. (Durham Herald-Sun)
