UNC, Marcus Paige put on show in alley-ooping, J. Cole-impressing win

Posted Dec 2, 2015
With the arrival of a highly ranked ACC expatriate and the long-awaited return of Marcus Paige, there was an intensity present that had been missing from Roy Williams' decorated club. Williams said it felt like an old ACC tournament game, although the scene of UNC's Joel James making a shot and pointing at courtside rapper J. Cole while winking in his direction left no doubt that it's indeed 2015. (Fayetteville Observer)
