Sports Editor "I don't know where I was when I took the shot," said Kevin Joyce of his game winning shot against Temple Saturday night. "I just stopped, jumped forward and put the shot up." Joyce scored only 12 points in the 53-51 Carolina victory, but four of his points came on two very im portant shots which occured in the closing seconds of both the first and second half.
