Seniors Brice Johnson, Marcus Paige push Tar Heels to the Sweet 16

Posted Mar 21, 2016
A season ago, Brice Johnson and Marcus Paige entered the NCAA Tournament hoping to make it to the second weekend. They accomplished the feat, but fell to Wisconsin in the Sweet 16. Now, the Tar Heels are back, preparing to face Indiana on Friday in Philadelphia. But this year, advancing this far — and further — is expected. “We’re not done,” Paige said. (Daily Tar Heel)
