Via UNC press release:
Tar Heel guard Marcus Paige earned his second consecutive Dean Smith Most Valuable Player Award and was named co-captain for the second time in as many years at the University of North Carolina men’s basketball team’s 2015 awards ceremony held Thursday evening.
Paige is the 17th player to win UNC’s Most Valuable Player award at least twice and just the sixth to earn MVP accolades as a sophomore and junior (with Lennie Rosenbluth, Billy Cunningham, Michael Jordan, Antawn Jamison and Tyler Hansbrough).
The Tar Heels went 26-12 overall, earned a berth in the ACC championship game after beating consecutive ranked and higher seeded opponents Louisville and Virginia and advanced to the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet 16.
