Lucas: Iowa Prepares To Welcome Paige

Posted Nov 20, 2015
When Marcus Paige was just an eighth grader, he received his first college basketball scholarship offer—from the University of Northern Iowa, approximately an hour from his home in Marion. Eight years later, he’ll return to Iowa as his Tar Heels face the Panthers Saturday at 2 p.m. ET. Paige’s status is uncertain as he recovers from a broken hand, but that hasn’t slowed the dozens of ticket requests. (GoHeels.com)
