Marcus Paige's big second half leads UNC over Arkansas

Posted Mar 22, 2015
Because Marcus Paige couldn't seem to miss in the second half, the Tar Heels are headed to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2012. The junior point guard scored 20 of his team-leading 22 points after halftime – including 14 in a decisive six-minute stretch to lead the fourth-seeded Tar Heels to an 87-78 victory against No. 5 Arkansas.
