'Big fella' Joel James gives UNC a welcomed lift in win

Posted Jan 2, 2016
Joel James received a loud ovation the first time he headed to the bench Saturday. That moment didn't stand out to an inattentive James during his 11-point, five-rebound showing in an 86-78 home victory against Georgia Tech. "I was tired, bro," James said with a smile. "I had to get me a drink of water." James tied his previous UNC high for points, shooting 5-for-6 from the field. (Fayetteville Observer)
