Paige blames UNC’s loss on lack of toughness inside

Posted Feb 29, 2016
“We just didn’t convert those plays around the basket,” said Marcus Paige, who had 13 points and four assists. “I think it was toughness. They were a little bit tougher than us. We talked about how to deal with the double team in the post, but we didn’t handle it very well. Our bigs had 7 or 8 turnovers in the post, so that’s not what we wanted either.” (Raleigh & Company)
