Marcus Paige: "My shot felt great"

Posted Dec 3, 2015
It was his first game back, but it was like Marcus Paige had never left. In Tuesday's 89-81 win over Maryland the "tough little nut" from Iowa had 20 points on 7-12 shooting (4-5 from three) and five assists. Some questioned his conditioning coming back for such a high-profile game against a top five team. There were no issues. Paige played 34 minutes, the most of any Tar Heel. (Carolina Blue)
