Marcus Paige still draws attention...and this season’s Tar Heels make him nervous

Posted Mar 24, 2017
Marcus Paige attended UNC’s practice Wednesday before the Tar Heels departed for Memphis, where they will face Butler in the Sweet 16. “I’m cheering for them to win it all and get a ring,” Paige said. “I won’t get one, but some of my best friends will.” Paige remains tight with the team, and at times, unnerved by the Tar Heels. “I hope they play better than they did last weekend."
