Tavelyn James shed selfishness to have a spectacular EMU basketball career
It goes on and on.
James set the school’s single-season scoring record as a sophomore (641 points), as a junior (642) and as a senior (708 and counting). She’ll take the nation’s second-highest scoring average (24.5 points) into a MAC Tournament semifinal on Friday in Cleveland.
She’s the school record holder for points in a career (2,417) and career 3-pointers (287) — both by a sizeable margin — and third on the all-time Mid-American Conference list in both categories. On Tuesday, James became the first Eastern Michigan player to be named the MAC Player of the Year .
Last October, James became the first MAC player — man or woman — to play for USA Basketball, joining the squad for the 2011 Pan-American Games.
Not a bad college career for a lightly recruited, undersized player who came to Eastern Michigan with barely a concept of team basketball.
But nothing Mom didn’t expect.
