Roles Reversed: Cardinals mount 18-point comeback to defeat UNC

Posted Feb 1, 2015
Louisville grinded out a home win on Saturday, just like UNC did Jan. 10. Marcus Paige sees the similarities between the two games. “I guess in both cases, the teams either got fat and happy, as coach would say, or we let up,” Paige said. “To get outworked and see an 18-point lead slip away, I don’t think there’s any worse way you can [lose].” (Daily Tar Heel)
