Three observations as we go into NCAA play:
1. When the Dukes offense gets going, it’s a hard team to beat. The four times they lost, they put up 8, 9, 10, and 5. Getting other scorers outside of Peterson going is crucial to preventing a performance similar those four lowest scoring games.
2. The most points JMU has given up this year, 15 to the stellar UNC squad (who’s season low is 14). If the offense can create, they have the defense and goalkeeping to keep them in the game against anyone.
3. Ideally any position that is not the #8 seed or the equivalent to the nine seed is the main hope. If there isn’t a seed in the cards, I’d rather be paired up with 6 or 7 seed to avoid UNC until the Finals.

Wow great info, thanks!

How are we looking for streaming options? Too early?

I believe I saw something announced that next Sunday is Selection Sunday with the reveal at 9PM EST on ESPNU. Games would then start the following Friday on ESPN+.

I imagine that there will be linear TV coverage as it gets later in the tourney. The expansion of ESPN+ covering more and more of college sports is making it an even better deal for JMU fans / NCAA fans in general. Thank goodness we’re ditching Flo.
