Seldom-used senior Joel James provides first-half boost to UNC

Posted Apr 3, 2016
Reserve center Joel James made two shots during a first-half run that helped push UNC to an 83-66 win against Syracuse. He said the outcome mattered more to him than the individual contributions. "I'm happy we won. I don't care if I score two points or 2,000." James scored four points Saturday, posting more than two in a game for only the second time since the end of January.
