Marcus Paige led the UNC men’s basketball team to an 82-71 win against Boston College Saturday for the Tar Heel’s first win in ACC play and avoiding the first 0-4 start in the ACC in Carolina history.
Carolina has been on a roll of late, beating back-to-back ranked teams in N.C. State and Florida State to achieve its highest national ranking in three years.
DeShields earned the honor for the second time this season by averaging 23 points and eight rebounds in Tar Heel victories against the Wolfpack and Seminoles.
