Posted Jan 30, 2016
Marcus Paige had hit 250 3-pointers at North Carolina before the one that dropped at the 17:21 mark of the first half in Saturday’s 89-62 drubbing of Boston College. At first glance, there wasn’t much special about it....But as he turned to get back on defense, he shoulders dropped and he cast his gaze up toward the white fabric roof of the suddenly deafening Smith Center.
