Hard work paying off for UNC's Joel James

Posted Dec 17, 2014
Joel James didn't have much time for a dry spell. He entered the lineup with 15:07 left in the opening half, made all four of his first-half shots and tied his career high of 11 points in UNC's 79-56 win against UNCG. "It shows that what you do in practice works in the games," James said. "The harder you work, the better it shows. I'm just going to keep working hard and see how far it takes me."
