Marcus Paige breaks hand

[wilson]

Paige is out 3-4 weeks (http://abc11.com/sports/uncs-marcus-paige-out-3-4-weeks-because-of-broken-hand/1068230/) with a fractured third metacarpal in his right (non-shooting) hand.

I hate injuries... Fortunately, (1) he'll be back early in the season, and (2) it's his non-shooting hand - though I seem to recall he went both ways.

You're thinking of Nate Britt who is equally inaccurate with either hand.

WHAT?!!! How come none of the announcers of any of UNC's games ever mentioned this fact? Next you're going to try to convince us that Kennedy Meeks used to have a weight problem. Not buying.

[OldPhiKap]

very sorry to hear this. And I just said some nice things about him in another thread. (Seriously)

Hope for a full and quick recovery.

[Dev11]

At least now UNC has a narrative to fall back on when they don't live up to expectations this season.

I wish him all the best and hope he's healthy soon.

I wish him all the best and hope he's healthy soon.
Me too, I want to see him losing at full speed.

You mean he's amphibious?

Re Paige, a tough break--seems like a pretty good guy for a Heel.

[TruBlu]

Word on the street is that his injury occurred at the teams dinner table. He was sitting between Kennedy Meeks and Sean May and made the mistake of reaching for the last pork chop.:o


Seriously, wishing a speedy recovery to Marcus. Agree that he seems like a good kid.

Did ol' roy go meta-corporal on him? Smacked his hand with a ruler for missing class?

This should significantly increase the speed at which UNC inevitably plummets from the top of the NCAA rankings.

Like that's ever happened before...

I like Marcus Paige ("because I'm happy"), and it's a shame that his "college" career has been marred by these nagging injuries. It's also a shame that he wears baby blue, but he's still just a regular guy trying to play basketball. I hope he makes a speedy recovery and is good to go for ACC play.

He'll always be Marcus "we can read" Paige for me, after being the unofficial team spokesman during the great illiteracy scare of 2014.

By all accounts, Paige really is a smart and studious kid.

[MCFinARL]

Why all accounts, Paige really is a smart and studious kid.

Yes. One of the unfortunate things about situations like the one at UNC is that kids who really are good students while participating in athletics are assumed not to be.

[moonpie23]

yeah...i don't have any animosity for paige.....


hope he gets well soon...

[norduck]

Did ol' roy go meta-corporal on him? Smacked his hand with a ruler for missing class?

Hopefully, it wasn't his writing hand.

[jipops]

I'm sure this is total Haiti for Roy.

[PackMan97]

By all accounts, Paige really is a smart and studious kid.

Who allowed himself to be used as a human shield by one of the most corrupt programs in the history of college sports.

[DukieInKansas]

Hope he heels quickly and completely.

[oldnavy]

I wish him a speedy and full recovery. He is actually one of the more likable heels they have had IMO. It's just a shame he made that one huge error in judgement.

[elvis14]

yeah...i don't have any animosity for paige...


hope he gets well soon...

I also hope he gets well soon. As for animosity....he plays for UNCheat, I have tons of animosity for him. I hope he heals quickly gets back on the court and goes 0 for 100 with this next 100 shots.

I think the Holes get smacked on the hand with a ruler for GOING to class.

You know, this thread would be more fun if, in the title, it said "wind" instead of "hand".
