Yup. The best.

We won't be undefeated forever. Whenever I get too confident in JMU, they disappoint me.
Well, I haven't gotten too confident... yet. That being said, Dukes will win tonight.

I agree w/ Mturn (I feel dirty for even saying that). However, TOMORROW I feel we have a good chance to defeat UNCC.

So you're old and dirty? Well jump on the bandwagon man! ODU! ODU! ODU!

I expect JMU to win, but one other thing to add to the coaching angle. Long time Tribe assistant, Kotie Kimble, left last spring to go with Sanchez at Charlotte. Kotie was very good, and would expect he has a solid scouting background on Rowe and your current roster. May or may not be a factor.

Perhaps this year's team can accomplish that. Fingers crossed....

I am going to blame you if we lose to UNCC. This type of post is the kiss of death.

Here's a fact for you -

The last time a JMU Men's basketball team started with at least 4 wins was the 1981/82 season - 37 years ago. (before many if not most of you were born) That team started 8-0.

This could be HUGE.

These are 2 false statements.

Ha! Ok?

A W&M connection huh? I guess we should prepare ourselves for open 3s and an endless parade of uncontested backdoor cut layups.

Here is the summary of the Charlotte roster turnover and program dumpster fire.
1- midseason firing of Mark Price and the team finishes 6-23 last year
2- coach's son and starter quits mid-season when Pops is fired and transferred
3- 2 Seniors graduated/ 1 starter
4- 2 players transferred after the season/1 starter
5- 2 players/1 starter kicked off the team last month

A 10 win JMU beat this team before the program began unraveling last year.

When it comes to road games, they don't get any easier than this against a depleted roster. Gotta put it in the W column

this televised anywhere?

It looks like the schedule has the live coverage on Charlotte49ers.tv ($)

I don't know the board's policy on posting streamable links so I won't post anything here but the /r/ncaabballstreams community on Reddit has streams for every D1 game. There will be options for HD and SD streams about 30 minutes before tip off.

If anyone doesn't want to pay and has trouble finding a way to watch feel free to PM me and I would be happy to direct to a stream of the game.

I thought good coaches make teams good immediately? Is Sanchez not a good coach?

I'll be honest. I double checked JMUSports.com after I read the first post just to double check that I had the game date correct.

Can we fact check this with Dukeman?

My wife and I will be at the pregame event and at the game wearing purple.

I expect JMU to win, but OK State expected to win too....

Go Dukes!

We can't play Eastern Mennonites and Bridgewaters forever, eventually we're going to have to prove we can play with some higher-tier programs. Good win at East Carolina, but I'm still not entirely convinced we'll beat Charlotte.

Charlotte 78
JMU 64

Wish Ron Sanchez had chosen JMU.

And how about Radford beating Notre Dame!?! Gotta admit I get a little jealous when I see programs on pretty much equal levels as us (George Mason, VCU, Radford, even JMU Womens' basketball...) finding a way to punch above their weight class and do great things. Enough excuses...JMU needs to have a better men's basketball program!!!

Gjones1001 Wrote:I can't believe anyone could reasonably predict that JMU can win this game. We look good against Eastern Mennonite and suddenly we have high hopes for the season? Maybe we should add Harrisonburg High to our schedule.

ECU doesn't have a solid basketball team but this struggling JMU team is no match for them.

This ain't football and ECU dominates by at least 15: ECU 81 JMU 65.

I further predict that Rowe won't win more than 10 games this season. After this season I think there will be no question that he's not the guy to take this program to any success and we'll finally start the rebuilding process with a new coach and a new arena.

Hope I'm proven wrong but the facts speak for themselves.

Lol

I think Charlotte is going to win this one, but it'll be close. 68-66 as the refs take over the second half, calling the Dukes for numerous questionable hand check calls allowing Jon Davis to get his points.
