Unable to hold late lead, UNC left with painful loss

Posted Feb 19, 2015
When North Carolina needed to make free throws late in regulation, it missed too many. When UNC needed to miss a free throw late in overtime, it executed perfectly, but Marcus Paige wasn't able to get a grip for a soaring putback attempt from the left block. As Paige crashed into a row of photographers beyond the baseline, a wild celebration erupted on the Cameron Indoor Stadium court. (Fayetteville Observer)
