‘Paige of old’ makes UNC a much more dangerous team

Posted Mar 12, 2016
Marcus Paige was asked about his shooting again Friday, a topic that has become a staple of the senior co-captain’s postgame media sessions over the past couple of months. Only this time he didn’t mind answering the questions. Because instead of having to analyze what’s wrong with his once-pure stroke, as he was asked to do by a gaggle of national reporters only a day earlier, Paige was finally able to talk about what it’s like to see the ball go through the basket again.
