Marcus Paige must heal ankle, soothe Tar Heels' jangled nerves

Posted Dec 22, 2015
For a veteran team with national title aspirations, seeing a player like Marcus Paige limp off the floor is a reminder of just how fragile that success can be. “There’s so much riding on this season, you want everyone to be healthy,” Paige said. “That’s one of the main things a championship run entails, keeping guys healthy. Some of that’s luck. You just hope to have that on your side.” (Fayetteville Observer)
