Passing Jordan no big deal to Paige...but it should be

Posted Mar 27, 2016
With his runner in the lane at the 10:35 mark of the first half, Marcus Paige scored his 1,790th career point to pass Michael Jordan for 12th place on UNC’s all-time scoring list. Paige clearly wasn’t as impressed with his latest accomplishment as were those around him. Paige reminded Roy Williams that Jordan achieved his point total in only three seasons.
