Healthy Marcus Paige ready to tackle NCAA Tournament

Posted Mar 19, 2015
“I play a lot better because I’m feeling a lot better.” That’s what Marcus Paige said Tuesday, about 48 hours before he and the Tar Heels take on Harvard in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. The junior guard is finally healthy after battling plantar fasciitis in his right foot, sprains in both ankles and an injured hip throughout the season. And for the No. 15 Tar Heels, it’s coming at just the right time. (Daily Tar Heel)
