Rapper J. Cole, an instate native of Fayetteville, sat courtside.

As for the other teams with any kind of shot: they’re left to hope that they can win a game, if there’s one left to play, and hope that other teams lose.
How much did that mean to them?
North Carolina is 16th nationally in yards gained at better than 494 a game. In fact he might be even better.
You know, and I would say ‘Quise can do all of those things, too. I thought he was great, glad we got him. “Cole walked in! He’s sitting right over there'”.
Preseason No. 1 has finally arrived.
It’s December and the North Carolina football team is among the hot topics on national sports talk shows. “That was really cool”. The Tar Heels are unbeaten in conference play, winning 11 straight games after their opening week loss to SC. “I like it a lot better when No. 5 is out there”.
That said, the Tar Heels get their shot at Clemson on Saturday.
Everything was going to script on Tuesday night in Paige’s return. The game will be held at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, NC where the Tarheels suffered their only loss this season to the South Carolina Gamecocks, 17-13. The Tar Heels give up an average of 208.3 rushing yards per game, and Watson is second on the team with 756 rushing yards. Not 30 seconds later, he came off of a down screen and buried a three.
Melo Trimble finished with 23 points and 12 assists to lead Maryland (6-1), which shot 51 percent but committed 22 turnovers that North Carolina converted into 21 points. Paige – who is known for his savvy and shooting ability, not for his athleticism – was streaking up the right side of the floor, calling for a lob. N.C. State battled back in the second half, but it wasn’t enough; UNC pulled this one out with a final score of 45-34.
The play was a turning point in the half, but what went overlooked in that moment was that Paige was calling for a lob.
“At the end of the day, we still find a way to win the game”, Swinney said.
“I ain’t gonna lie, I had some flashbacks back to high school”, Logan, a junior, said.
So when was the last time he called for a lob?
“He probably thrived on it”, Turgeon said.
And why was he calling for lobs?
Maryland fought back at the start of the second half and tied the game up early in the final 20 minutes of the game, largely with Trimble leading the way. “I was anxious about how I would be conditioned because I only had one full practice of up and down”.
In its 12 games previous year against FBS foes, North Carolina’s fundamentals were a disaster.
Leggett added it is more important than ever that Clemson players eat healthy and take care of their bodies.
When we think of Paige, we think of the player we saw last season, the kid that failed to live up to the hype that he had entering the year. “We don’t have time to kick our shoes off and throw our feet up”. He didn’t complain about it. He didn’t use the injuries as an excuse or a crutch. Brice Johnson had a huge block.
“People don’t realize it, when Marcus is healthy?”
“Guess I was wrong”, he said. In warmups today he did a windmill. “We went through a regular routine and I got some shots up and I look at the clock and there’s still five hours to go before the game”.
Last week in Mexico, Trimble said Sulaimon plays with a “chip” on his shoulder after being dismissed from the Duke team last season.

It didn’t take long for North Carolina fans to welcome Terrapins men’s basketball guard Rasheed Sulaimon back to Chapel Hill on Tuesday night. It’s a fair bet that Hood will get the ball early and often when the Tar Heels lineup against the 7th best defense in the nation.
