JMU has another chance to pull off a huge home victory, this time against the league’s best team. CoC has hit their groove with 8 straight wins including wins over th #2, #3, and #4 teams.

The Cougars will be odds on favorites to win the CAA tourney not just because they are trending to be the top seed, but they will be playing 10 miles from campus and are sure to have the majority of fans. All other tourney games not including CoC will be empty and lifeless.

CoC returns all of its key players from last year and that game experience has helped them improve from what was a bad offense last year into an average offense this year. The tendency to zone up a formerly poor shooting CoC team is no longer as effective this year. Surprisingly though, their defense has slipped a little this year. While they are still good they are not nearly as suffocating as in the past.

Probably not going to end well for the home team, but even bad college b-ball teams win the majority of their home games. So you are saying there is a chance...

JMU 58
CoC 68

P.s. an important game to keep our eyes on is Elon @ UNCW. Elon is in that #6 seed everyone wants to avoid the Keener round. If Elon wins hope is probably dead for JMU. If UNCW wins, the now season ending game for JMU @ Elon may be so important that it impacts the seed of 4 teams and 3 of them will be crying the blues in the Keener round.
