Here are records before yesterday:

Threes made in a game by Hofstra: 17
Threes allowed in a game by Hofstra: Unknown (not broken yesterday but I tried to compare)
Threes made in a game by you: 16 (not broken yesterday but providing a comparison)
Threes allowed in a game by you: 17
Threes made in a game by a CAA team: 21 (by Northeastern on January 5, 2017 and tied by UNCW on February 4, 2017, both were hosting Delaware)

The amazing thing is that Hofstra reached 90 with 11:19 left and scored their fewest of the last three games I've gone to. The previous two were your 104-99 win at Hofstra's Senior Day last season and a 102-75 win hosting Elon on January 4. In the 33 games I went to before last season's Senior Day, Hofstra never scored or allowed more than 95. In the last three games I've been to, four of the six teams scored at least 97.

RE: JMU at Hofstra 2/29 4pm
This has been so obvious to all concerned, there is no doubt the wheels have already started moving. I doubt and hope nothing would be announced before we finish with the CAA tournament.

I'm not concerned about the list that is/has obviously been prepared. I'm concerned how much we are willing to invest, and how well this admin is able to sell the opportunity. That is two areas we terribly failed 4 years ago.

The NCAA average is 71.18. It's down from 72.71 last season and 73.77 two seasons ago. In 2010-2011 when VCU went to the Final Four, it was 69.1. In 2005-2006 when George Mason went to the Final Four, it was 69.2. The record is 77.7 in consecutive season 1970-1971 and 1971-1972. The NCAA has averages going back to 1947-1948. The first five were 53.3, 54.8, 57.6, 60.7, and 63.3 It jumped to 69.1 in 1952-1953, and the lowest average since then was 67.5 in 2012-2013 when you won the CAA Tournament, won a First Four game against LIU, and had a respectable 83-62 loss to Indiana.

RE: JMU at Hofstra 2/29 4pm
I watched both of the last two games, painful as it was. JMU's offense, perhaps because Hofstra let up, played much better in the second half, scoring 48 points. They played a style more like they played at the beginning of the season. It was good to see the chemistry between Wooden and Christmas. Begs the question why we haven't seen them together more and why did they get away from that style? Mettlen wrote about the switch going off sometime in the first Hofstra game after JMU led by 13 or so. It's been a disaster since, of course. Harvey didn't do much statistically, but you can see he can become a good player with the proper coaching.

The defense, both on the perimeter and interior, was terrible in both games, of course. The opponent would get a wide open three after making three or four passes nearly every time. NE is not terribly talented, so you have to give Coen credit for pulling out a credible season from a less than talented group. Hofstra has really improved since the beginning of the conference season. They're a very good shooting team.

My guess is the Dutchmen decided to slow the roll so perhaps the powers that be keep this staff in place for the foreseeable future.

Why not? Up 30 with only a half to go? Two guaranteed W’s each year?

Sure thing. Easy money, there.


Disgusting.

Sorry, not sorry

That is embarrassing. A CAA team stopped trying to score to aviod 100 points against a JMU team with two CAA wins. I would rather see the 100 plus score than know jmu is officially no longer competitive in a watered down one bid CAA.

Bourne should offer a public apology and offer hope by stating he and King will no longer take part in mbb decisions.


Geeeeeezzz.

It’s come to this. Purpie and I agree on something.

Anyone with even a half ounce of input on the MBB decision making for the last 20+ years should be gag-ruled and banned from ever even entertaining the idea of participating in anything related ever again.

Left to me I’d boot em out of office. Might even charge em criminally.

I’d start with fraud. $.02

Who cares about results or coaching this year at this point?

It's all about the next decision about the next coach. I won't lose a bit a sleep on anything that happens this season coaching wise or play wise.

It all comes down to the decision for the future.

Right.

Who do you now trust to make those decisions?

The same cast of characters?

I don’t. Not even remotely.

As a history major I'll point out the obvious and state that if the idiots at the top making decisions haven't learned anything, then they'll continue to make the same mistakes. Old white guys stay out of the room and let someone else find the right coach.

RE: JMU at Hofstra 2/29 4pm
Why is Alger getting a pass while King and Bourne take all the criticism? The President ultimately decides things such as salaries, conference affiliation and budgets. Nothing gets done without his approval.

Bourne and King work under the parameters decided by the President. The BOV has some voice as well as they hire and can remove a President.

I can not understand why JMU is so bad in men’s basketball. No excuse for it. Period. End of discussion. I am beyond frustrated.

RE: JMU at Hofstra 2/29 4pm
I get thee impression that Alger just nods when King tells him to nod, for example, the COA.

We can't blame Alger for decades of mbb mismanagement prior to his arrival. If Alger now says no to a progressive or competitive salary or no to a conference then we continue to be r(h)osed but with hundreds of millions sunk in athletic facilities.

JMU is not transparent with whom-how decisions are made which is why we have Bourne attackers and Bourne apologist.

We have $175M in football-basketball facilities and a high G5 budget and the dII fcs brand and the worst d1 basketball team in the country to show for it.

But we have good olympic sports...the wheel goes around.

RE: JMU at Hofstra 2/29 4pm
Two questions.

1) Whom is making athletic department decisions?
2) What are JMU's conference affiliation expectations?

Same stupid drum from you. How do you keep doing it? You and Dukeman. Two peas in a pod. Maybe the same poster?

I just care about having a good athletics program. How the sauce is made doesn’t matter to me. If you would like to know the internal workings of JMU athletics, become a big donor with a suite at football and basketball games. That is how you get the inside information.
