Now healthy, Marcus Paige eyes strong finish to bumpy season

Posted Mar 16, 2015
It's been a bumpy season for UNC's Marcus Paige. The junior was a preseason all-American before having a slow start followed by a troublesome lingering foot injury. But he looks his healthiest in weeks and is playing some of his best ball entering the NCAA Tournament. Paige says he would've liked for the season "to be a lot smoother" but says the postseason still offers a "special opportunity." (USA Today)
