Entering Friday’s exhibition game with Guilford College, the North Carolina men's basketball team’s biggest question was how to replace senior guard and vocal leader Marcus Paige.
The game hinted that it might be a group effort. In the Tar Heels’ 99-49 victory over the Quakers, 11 different Tar Heels scored and six players had double-digit points.
In recent seasons, UNC has garnered the reputation of being a poor shooting team, but there was no hesitance from beyond the arc in the opening minutes. After Guilford took a 2-0 lead, junior guard Nate Britt and sophomore guard Theo Pinson made consecutive 3-pointers.
