Marcus Paige to miss own homecoming game at UNI
Posted Nov 20, 2015
One cool UNC tradition that's being carried on by coach Roy Williams is scheduling games in places the Tar Heels would not normally visit simply to give a player an opportunity to compete near his hometown. That's why the Tar Heels are playing at Northern Iowa on Saturday -- so that Marcus Paige, from nearby Marion, can have a homecoming game. The only problem? Paige is hurt and will not play.
