After rebounding Marcus Paige's missed floater and scoring on a putback dunk, Brice Johnson acknowledged Paige. Pointing to the passer is a long-standing Carolina tradition. Pointing to an errant shooter? Dean Smith's influence remains very much present in Roy Williams and at UNC, even in an era when some of Smith's old-school values butt heads with the big-money business of college basketball.
