UNC Tar Heel basketball standout Marcus Paige has been selected to the Capitol One Academic All-District team. This is the second consecutive year that Paige has earned that honor.

Last year, the Tar Heel point guard went on to earn second-team Academic All-America.

The Iowa-native Paige is majoring in journalism and history. He is doing that all while leading the Tar Heels in scoring, assists, three-point field goals, three-point percentage, and steals. And he is second on the team in free-throw percentage, for good measure.

Vanderbilt’s Luke Kornet, Belmont’s Craig Bradshaw, Virginia Tech’s Christian Beyer and Radford’s Kyle Noreen join Paige on the District 3 first team.
