Wilson getting better and better and better every game. Great to see. Man, he is a big dude. Imagine what he's going to look like in a couple of years of body sculpting. He has a high ceiling. I bet Mike Houston would love to have him. :>)

34-20

Dukes looking good

Do these guys know the mics are on?

One dude bought a shirt and tie at kohls and the other guys wife sleeps only in t-shirts.

Really good first 17 minutes, but we let them right back in after building that 14-pt lead. Overall though, pretty good showing by the Dukes. Need to keep it up. W&M starting to hit some shots outside the arc. Let off for 1 minute and a 10-0 run can be laid on you.

That goaltending call was absolutely horrendous

THe Dukes have done a great job of turning the game into a scramble and running shooters off of the 3pt line. What is even better is that they have given up very few backdoor cuts when W&M starts their action.

The double digit lead evaporated pretty quick, but that is what you are going to get with a potent offensive team. Lots of spurtability.

Rowe doesn't seem to have a good handle on when to use time outs and slow things down or make adjustments in alignment or lineup.

About damn time. This lineup ain't working

Tribe getting easy baskets now and we're giving up wide open looks to instead take tough contested shots off the dribble. From 14 up to down 6 in about 9 minutes. *SIGH*

This team will be better next year with some other guy not named McLean at point guard. He just doesn't play smart.
And get Banks back in before it's too late.

Just as you post that, McLean hits a 3 and Banks misses a wide open layup. Stop jinxing us.

Just like his college coach!

Lock the damn back door!

Ugh. This team has had so many tough losses. It's good to see the emergence of Wilson the last couple games. JMU needs one more reliable scorer to step up in these tough games and it really should be Snowden. It's great to have it ass your goal to lead in assists every game, but your a damn forward. Show some senior leadership and score some points.

We do not have an offensive strategy, it is pathetic basketball; conversely, W&M plays smart, they are fun to watch.

Wilson is a bright spot. 2 CAA games. Both at home. 2 losses. Gave up 80+ each time.

Elsewhere in the CAA...

CoC 93, UD 78
Elon 75, Towson 72
UNCW 107, Drexel 87
Hofstra 71, NU 70

JMU at 0-2 along with Drexel & Towson.

That was a disappointing second half. JMU went from giving up very few backdoor cuts in the first half to giving up a season’s worth in the 2nd half.
Not sure why Rowe didn’t press hardly at all tonight. He threw in a couple of soft zone presses, but really did not try to leverage his athletic advantage. W&M proceeded to carve them up in the half court and did it almost exclusively with their starting 5.

Dukes are 0-2 at home to start CAA play and have the next 3 on the road. They can very easily be looking at an 0-5 start and another Keener round appearance at the CAA tournament.

things are not getting better
