How about Rowe finally coaching his team to foul when up 3 in the waning seconds. I guess he is finally tired of letting teams tie JMU with a dagger 3 at the end of regulation.

The Wilson/Phillips combo took an interesting twist tonight.
Wilson played 39 minutes and 59 seconds. Phillips played the last second to defend Drexel’s inbound play.

I hate to keep repeating this concern, but the apparent lack of depth on this team in a coach's third year is troubling. The starters are playing significant minutes and that isn't going to work in a tournament run. We saw the mistakes a tired team makes again last night in the last few minutes.

Not often you see your Center playing 40 minutes

RE: MBB: Dukes host Drexel (Thursday, 7pm, College Sports Live)
A fun night and game. Hoping for more Saturday night. A few observations...

*In the words of Dukester... "WOW!" Dwight Wilson was magnificent. His final line....40 minutes, 9 of 11 from the field, 2 of 3 at the line, 18 boards, 1 steal, 1 assist, and 1 TO.

*Lewis "only" attempted 7 field goals and connected on 5 of them.

*Banks "only" attempted 4 field goals and 1 of his 2 makes was on that nice steal and breakaway dunk.

*Drexel's Troy Harper deserves an Academy Award next week. Some of his antics drawing fouls are things that would make any Drama Professor proud.

*Adjusting to a zone made a huge difference, though took too long to recognize it and adjust.

*Back to Harper, the Dukes did a good job on him. His line was not as good as you'd normally expect... 2 of 15 from the field, 0 for 6 from outside the arc, 7 of 11 from the line, 4 boards, 4 assists and zero turnovers.

*The official box score at JMU Sports does not show Matt Urbach with any time, but I'm 100% sure I recall him getting a minute or two towards the end of the first half.

*Of the 7 guys who made up 99% of our rotation last night, 5 are sophs, 1 is a freshman and 1 is a senior. Looking forward to seeing these guys become upperclassmen (note, regardless of who is head coach and assuming they stay of course).

*Antanee Pinkard has not logged any meaningful minutes in the last 5 games. I think Rowe is moving on from him. Suits me fine. Play the young'uns. If Rowe does by chance land another '19 class signee in a couple of months when the April signing period opens up, it will surprise me if Pinkard returns - his 'ship is likely the one that frees for a 5th signee.

*Note to Darius Banks...when you receive that pass just inside the lane and turn towards the basket, there is absolutely nothing wrong with just pivoting, focusing on the rim and firing right there. You don't have to put the ball on the floor (and turning it over with a travel) and drive to the glass drawing defensive attention. Be content with taking the 12 foot (wide open) jumper.

*Note to Stuckey Mosley...you have a terrible habit of dropping the ball down to the floor when being trapped. Stop that. Makes no sense. You should've never received the ball in a backcourt press trap situation, but when you do, bringing the ball down to the floor standing right at the baseline is goofy. Stop that. Get rid of the ball ASAP or throw it off the defender's knees out of bounds to get out of the trap and re-start the press break or call a timeout. Don't bring that ball down to the floor. Stop that.

RE: MBB: Dukes host Drexel (Thursday, 7pm, College Sports Live)
Happy to see the boys have some success. Give Rowe a 5 year extension!!!

Wilson is a monster. For those critics of Rowe and player development, please see exhibit 1 - WILSON. 20 and 18, are you kidding me? And a soph?

We tried to find another implausible way to lose another game. This team has 35 minutes of very good play and then 5 minutes of WTF. Missed FTS, boneheaded TOs and the inability to put the ball in the hoop.

I would love to know our offensive stats the last 5 minutes of the game vs. the rest of the game.

As for TOs. There are times these guys are just careless and make very stupid decisions. In bounding the ball to a double team in the corner? TO! In bounding the ball to a guy double teamed on the baseline. TO and then again, another TO. Whoops, I think they just turned it over again. ugh.

Probably bc he actually puts forth a consistent level of effort of both ends of the court and appears to pay attention to the coaches and game plan.

This game was so sloppy from both teams. Also watched the end of the Delaware/Towson game after ours ended and quite frankly none of us are good. It is truly a battle of who sucks less, not who is better.

Wilson is going to be a handful in the CAA the next 2 years. His progress has been amazing.....that kid has really put in some work.

The minutes on the box score were apparently incorrect. Wilson subbed out in the first half and the story on JMU sports said he played 34 minutes. Another very important stat for Wilson was 0 fouls. Very impressive.

Wilson is a man child. Someone had mentioned his recruitment. Keep in mind he was an early recruit - the first to commit from that class. He was a solid mid major big recruiting win for JMU and an important first commit for that class for Rowe. Probably the best front court recruit for JMU since Dalembert and YoYo was very raw- Dwight is more polished.

Better passing last night- I think we had 15 assists. Rowe has a better game than at Towson where he coached a bad game. Have to get another home win on Saturday.

And, with the exception of Moseley, the transfers into JMU have been busts. Another good class of freshmen next year should provide some much needed depth. I thought Rowe made some nice adjustments last night going to the zone and also using his timeouts.

All these great things that happened and Rowe made some nice adjustments and the result was a 2 point win at home against the #233 team in the nation. 07-coffee3

That's a lot that needed to happen to get a 2 point win at home versus a bad team.

The bar is so low........

so does the team get credit for close losses to good teams where everything goes wrong and they lose?

YES - you're a regular. You know they get a ton a credit. How many times have it been posted by many "I'm glad we kept it close" or at least they are still trying and that's not even against the good teams?


IMHO it seems like to me the well performing programs don't receive the props/appreciation they deserve and have earned and the under performing provide happiness if they have a pulse. I'm beside myself with the success of the last three years in football, while many will be focused on last year and the disappointment they felt last year.

Either way everyone want's to win. I just wonder if the acceptance by the fans have lead to the 2 decade drought in JMU Men's basketball.

I find it strange I'm defending the successful programs and on the flip side saying "guys this is not good" to the under performing programs.

RE: MBB: Dukes host Drexel (Thursday, 7pm, College Sports Live)
The bar is low - we all realize that. Different programs have different expectations in season game to game. All programs should have the same expectations 50,000 foot big picture. We’re on the same page there. Last nights end was scary and just shows how things can get away from you. This team isn’t good- we know that but there is slow progress and there is some talent and advancement happening. It’s not quick enough for us as fans but it doesn’t take away from the fact that it is happening. Jmu is not going to play a sound 40 minutes they just aren’t and most teams in this league aren’t either. It doesn’t mean that they aren’t slowly getting better and will continue to make incremental improvements individually and as a unit as the season goes on, in the off season and next year. Again it won’t be dramatic enough or quick enough to get people excited or make up for the past but it’s happenong.

If Wilson has improved dramatically because he is listening to the coach, isn't that good coaching. The question is why are the others making slower improvements. Is it them or is it the coach? I don't think LR coaches one player without coaching the others. Some take longer to internalize and reproduce what the coach is teaching, while some get it much more quickly. When all 5 on the floor at anytime play with the same gusto that Wilson did last night, this will be a pretty good team. True, we need more depth, but that is happening with each recruiting class. Here's hoping the light comes on for the other players like it has for Dwight Wilson.
