PHILADELPHIA — Marcus Paige stood in the locker room Friday night after one of the most satisfying nights of his career. He'd just hit a season-high six threes in the victory over Indiana—one rare "on" night in a season of off nights—and his team sat one win away from the Final Four.

So it was unusual that Paige, the journalism major who could put a nice spin on Mike Krzyzewski's lecture-gate, took offense to a postgame question.

"Were you desperate to fix this season that has not been ideal for me?" a reporter asked.

"Oh, this season has been ideal for me," Paige fired back.
