JMU MBB v Weber St
Dukes are shooting much better in the first half of this game and have a couple of assists

Dukes have 6 team fouls before the 12:00 mark. WSU already in the bonus. WSU 10 of 11 from the FT line so far. 10 of their first 14 points from the charity stripe.

RE: JMU MBB v Weber St
This is an inexperienced team, so I imagine there will be some maddening inconsistency this season. That said, this appears to be more of the team from last night’s second half than from prior to that point.

It's been a very close game from the opening tip. Dukes are hanging in there. We were 4 pt underdogs so I guess this is expected.

Both teams shooting over 60% from the field so far - I'm assuming not a lot of defensive is being played. Phillips got 3 quick fouls in the first 5 minutes, otherwise pretty clean game.

Weber St is shooting 73% from the field. Not the strong D that Rowe preaches

Dukes have fallen in love with the 3 pointer. 4 min scoring drought

Yep. Started out the game 3 of 3 from outside the arc and have now missed 6 straight. Ugh.

I keep repeating to myself that it is a young team and this is part of the learning process, but this is rough to watch

RE: JMU MBB v Weber St
I guess one way to look at this game is when your opponent goes 60% from the field, 50% from 3, and 14 of 16 (88%) from the line and you're only down 6 at the half, then that is a relief.

RE: JMU MBB v Weber St
They finished stronger in the 2nd half yesterday so maybe that's a trend? This is a winnable game so hopefully they can come out firing. I'm staying patient with the team though. I assume it will take 5-10 games before guys start to coalesce. I'd definitely be concerned if they were struggling into conference play, but so far they look improved over last year.

RE: JMU MBB v Weber St
At the half, the good: Dukes out rebounding WSU. Dukes cooled off from the field, but are still shooting a respectable 50%, 7 assists for the Dukes
Bad: WSU is shooting 60% from the field and 50% from 3 pt range, WSU has taken 16 free throws to JMU’s 9, JMU 0-6 from 3 pt range after hitting the first 3.

5 Dukes turnovers in 5 minutes of 2nd half play. Ugh.

Weber St’s shooting has cooled in 2nd half, but so has the Dukes’
