UNC’s ‘odd couple’ Johnson and Paige primed for final NCAA tournament run

Posted Mar 17, 2016
The first time Marcus Paige and Brice Johnson met, Paige’s first thought went something like this: man, this guy is quiet. “He just never spoke,” Paige, UNC's senior guard, said on Wednesday. “He was so quiet that I really didn’t have much thought at all. I was like, here’s this guy – he doesn’t speak. I’ve got to live with this guy? This is going to be awkward.” (Charlotte Observer)
