Bryce James scores first college hoops bucket after scoreless debut

Bryce James scored his first college points for Arizona on Thursday, reaching the milestone in his second game after a scoreless debut. The freshman’s early three-pointer helped Arizona build a lead in a 104-84 win over Cal Poly.

James played 17 minutes and finished with five points, two assists and two steals, shooting 2-for-5. He had gone 0-for-3 in six minutes against UCLA. The 6-foot-5 guard redshirted his first year to develop, and coach Tommy Lloyd said the decision was intended to give him more options and prepare him to contribute.
