Marcus Paige’s improved play boosts Tar Heels

Posted Mar 23, 2015
Marcus Paige admits that sometimes teammates, specifically Nate Britt, have called him Kemba or Shabazz this season. It gets on his nerves. He said he doesn’t really think about making the big plays while the game is happening. He reassesses his strategy during stoppages in play. But if UNC is going to keep playing, it’ll likely be because of big shots by Paige. (Winston-Salem Journal)
