This is a blah game with little relevance to tourney seedings. Elon will be in the play in round. JMU will not.

Here is a chance for Brady to tinker with what works in case they are matched up with Elon in Baltimore.

JMU 65
Elon 64

Dukes continue rolling 69-58

Winning on the road is hard:

Dukes 66
Elan 65

I am hoping we can continue to play well on the road. The Delaware game was the best defensive game we have played in a long time and it was an enjoyable watch. McLean can hopefully keep the good starts rolling. I enjoyed the post game interview with McLean Tuesday. 68-65 Dukes.

Well, when you put it that way... Sheeesh.




So when is this game?

7 o'clock tip tomorrow night

YoYo questionable for tonights game (strained his back Thursday in practice). I have a feeling that he will play though.

Elon is without a couple key players and is playing a small guard oriented team. We should win this one easily. SHOULD.

If Yo Yo is hurt, rest him. Drexel will be a physical game and we will need him. Dukes have an outside shoot of winning the regular season but it is remote. Only one game out of second place. The Dukes would have to run the table to have any chance of winning or finishing second. After tonight, 3 of their last 4 are at home.

Mclean brings energy to this team. He is quick side to side, straight out fast down the court and has very good leaping ability. I have been surprised at his rebounding ability. He and Grays get in the lane and mix it up. They often don't get the rebound but they make it possible for others to do so by tapping the ball to others or contesting a larger opponent. That has been a key to the Dukes last two victories. Clean is also a good defender. Easily the most complete player of Matt's last recruiting class.

I am really disappointed in Hari Hall. That guy has the body and athleticism to be a very good player. Maybe it is his injuries but he really is playing below his abilities.

Hall has had ankle, knee, flu and concussion issues strung out over this season limiting his practice time and affecting his conditioning. If/when he becomes a healthy hari hall then hopefully he will flourish.

Elon is favored by one point in this game. CBS' computer picks the Dukes to win, 69-67.

Massey has us winning by 4, 70-66. I have no idea what to expect, personally. I can see us winning by 15, 1 or losing by 7.

it seems whenever we get some momentum, we stumble. We need to get this one tonight. Elon has lost 9 of the last 10. they did beat W&M and Delaware earlier in the year. They have beaten Drexel and only lost to Duke by 13.

We get this, and 3rd in the conference may come down to the game at UNCW.

The Dukes like the road and this team continues to gel and improve with McLean starting and the man to man defense.

Not so fast. Down goes the Tribe and Wilmington and Northeastern play tonight. So therefore I have a bad feeling about tonight.

I'm with you...I didn't check the results....but I don't think the JMU men have won 3 in a row all season (hope pointing this out doesn't jinx the possibility).

I say win out, 5-0, and take the league title!

Go Dukes!

Despite Elon's bad season, the Dukes struggled against them in the last meeting, a 75-72 win for JMU at Harrisonburg. I think that JMU can win as long as they don't do what they did against W&M and NE this season.

Elon's Stretch video working as well as JMUs

Well Stretch is acting like a butt. Stuttering and freezing. Makes trying to watch such a chore.

Stretch is unwatchable again. Really ticking me off.
