Marcus Paige a bright spot for UNC
Posted Nov 26, 2014
When Marcus Paige was growing up, it was all about Carolina blue. He rocked Jordans, called Vince Carter his favorite player and celebrated when the 2005 team won it all. “That’s who I would cheer for,” Paige says. “When I figured out Vince Carter went there, I became a huge fan.” Marcus Paige is from Marion, IA. Of course, having fans spread far from Chapel Hill isn’t out of the ordinary for the Tar Heels.
