Senior season a wild "Phantom" ride for UNC's Joel James

Posted Mar 23, 2016
A plane transported the Tar Heels to Philadelphia for their Sweet 16 matchup against Indiana. The "Phantom" remains parked inside a quiet Smith Center. The start of March Madness has meant more off-campus travel for UNC and less on-campus activity for 6-foot-11, 280-pound senior Joel James, who often rides an all-black, appropriately nicknamed bicycle to class or practice.
