Marcus Paige can't escape that one night in April. You know the one.
He was supposed to be the hero. The senior point guard was catalyst in North Carolina's furious rally in the closing minutes of the NCAA national title game. He scored eight of Carolina's final 10 points, including a shot that seemed destined to end up side-by-side in Tar Heel lore with Michael Jordan's game-winner in the 1982 title game: an improbably majestic floating 3-pointer that tied the contest at 74 with 4.7 seconds remaining.
But the fates had other plans. Kris Jenkins' buzzer-beating three on the other end squashed the Tar Heels' title hopes and rendered Paige's heroics moot.
