Marcus Paige made three 3-pointers in the second half to help North Carolina get on track from long range and stifle a Syracuse rally for an 83-66 victory that moved the Tar Heels one win from the program's sixth title. The Tar Heels (33-6) were 0 for 11 from 3-point range midway through the second half, and Syracuse trimmed a 17-point deficit to seven before Paige found his range. (Associated Press)
