Paige said that a big key for him in the second half was being patient and not forcing shots. “I just settled down a little bit,” Paige said. “I got good shots in the first half, but I was rushing them. At this point in the year, you don’t want your last game of the year to be played poorly. This could have been the last game for us, so I had to step up.” Step up he did, knocking down three 3-pointers, including 11 points in less than 3 minutes in the middle of the half to blow the lead open after it was tied at 59. The Tar Heels never looked back again. Follow Jack on Twitter
