Heels hope Paige's return bolsters defense

Posted Dec 1, 2015
Marcus Paige is back for the North Carolina basketball team. A preseason pick to be an All-America, Paige is expected to be a panacea for the 5-1 Tar Heels — and not just on offense. Paige was UNC’s defensive player of the year in 2014-15, and UNC coach Roy Williams has repeatedly called Paige the Tar Heels’ best defender during this season and last season.
