Three takeaways from Tar Heels' fantastic 89-81 W over Maryland

Posted Dec 2, 2015
All we want from early season college hoops is entertainment. And on Tuesday night, the Terps and Tar Heels turned in a terrific tilt to that end. No. 9 UNC won 89-81 thanks to some outrageous offense and the return of starting star point guard/team MVP Marcus Paige, who went for 20 points and five assists, plus just one turnover. (CBS Sports)
