Joel James has a big number to fill
Posted Oct 29, 2013
Sophomore forward Joel James willingly abandoned the No. 0 jersey he wore last season to allow freshman Nate Britt to wear it. Before choosing his next number James said he wanted a greater meaning behind it and settled on No. 42 for a reason. There are three honored jerseys hanging in the Dean E. Smith Center rafters from players who wore 42 -- Brad Daugherty, Jerry Stackhouse and Sean May.
