Lack of championship legacy hangs over final home game for Tar Heels' seniors
Posted Feb 29, 2016
UNC' three scholarship seniors head into the home stretch of their careers with a slim résumé when it comes to team accomplishments. Marcus Paige, Brice Johnson and Joel James have reached two ACC tournament finals and one Sweet 16. The highest they've finished in the ACC standings is third and the highest they've been in a final AP poll is 12th.
