Marcus Paige puts foot down

Posted Jan 15, 2015
Marcus Paige scored a season-high 23 points — drilling all five of his 3-point attempts — in leading the Tar Heels to an 81-79 victory over NC State at PNC Arena. “I’ve told you guys that I’m a real confident person in general anyway and I’ve kind of tricked myself into being confident, because I haven’t been playing real well, so I kind of have to do that,” Paige said.
