After each loss we’ll induct a new player (from the opponent) into the TechHoops.com Opponent Hall of Fame after Tech makes them look like the greatest player in the world.

It was a tough decision between Chaz Michael Michaels (James Michael McAdoo who had 22 points and 10 rebounds) and freshman Marcus Paige, but I went with the frosh because once again we allowed a guy a career high performance from behind the arc:

• 19 points, 5 assists, and 5 rebounds
• Career high 19 points (previous high 15, previous ACC high was 10)
• Career high 4 made 3-pointers (previous high was 3, previous ACC high was 2)
• Tied career high with 5 rebounds
• Made 4 of unc’s 5 three-pointers
• Had just 20 made 3s on the season coming in and was under 30% as a 3-point shooter
