Here's the schedule... http://www.jmusports.com/schedule.aspx?path=softball

If Greek mythology was a spectator sport, watching Sisyphus push a giant bolder up a hill would be the equivalent of watching JMU men's basketball.

Northeastern has lost 5 of their last 6 and JMU has lost 7of their last 8. Should be a riveting game.

What is interesting to me is how Cohen has turned TJ Williams from a role player to the leading scorer in the CAA at 21ppg. He is second in the nation in free throw attempts with aggressive dribble drives to the rack.
The Huskies lost more than any team except Hofstra and they have also been without their versatile big Jeremy Miller for half of this season. Not sure what is wrong with him, but he is an impressive soph with shot blocking and excellent perimeter shooting skill.

Northeastern 70
JMU 60

Does anyone really care anymore?

No, JMU has made it to the top of the hill.

Sisyphus is a better analogy for Tribe hoops.

Yes, I do.

I watched Thursday. It was painful. The guys do play hard and there was no quit in them. I also don't see a lot of confidence either.

With the exception of McClean, next year is all on Lou's recruits. No more blaming Brady. The honeymoon will be over. If Lou is the great recruiter he is touted to be, then we should see a more athletic team able to compete with the top of the CAA and win 18-20 games.

I am giving Lou a pass for this year but that is it. I expect more from him next year.

That is the worst problem.
It is bad when your fanbase is disappointed with the product on the court.
It is worse when it is so bad your fanbase doesn't care anymore.

And worse still when the actual court looks bad.

Maybe so overall, but I was talking about this season. The guys try hard but end up in disappointment and frustration. It's difficult to watch.

I call 'painful'

3 of this seasons starters are out today for NE. Miller, Ford and CAA leading scorer Williams.
JMU has to win this game

It's just sad to me what has happened to JMU basketball. It was a basketball first school when I was there. I was a senior in Lefty's first year and the Electric Zoo was...electric.

Just noticed the on floor logo, jerseys and the press row video board all using the "old" JMU logo.

Holmes sucks. Bad

Dukes off to a good start and are up 24-15 with 8 to play in the first half. NE looks lost on offense without Williams playing. Anybody know what happened to him? He is on the bench

Up 5 at the half 39-34. Both teams started to get into a groove on offense over the last 5 minutes.
