Rough start to the game and some rough stretches in the second half, but strong finish to each half. Barring a miracle for Northeastern it looks like we'll send them to 0-11 in conference.

Nice to have Falden with some clutch play at the end. Big lifts from the play of Nacho and Savage in the game, especially on defense. Kind of a letdown game for Edwards who was forcing it too much. Great to get a win.

Great win. Any win on the road is great. Limited turnovers, and amazingly, JMU got more RBs than Northeastern.

When (if ever) has JMU swept NE during the regular season?

Nacho impacts the game in so many ways. I can’t wait until he is in shape and starting.
Good win and it doesn’t matter if it was closer Han the last NE game. Road win in the books. Time for site seeing on the freedom trail before saying bye-bye to Boston.

Hofstra will be a much tougher opponent , yet a chance to repay them after completely collapsing in the last 3 minutes against them in Harrisonburg.

Dukes sit at a disappointing 4-5 halfway through the CAA schedule. It will take some upset road wins to get them back in the running with lots of basketball left to play.

Nice road win to stop the slide.

Good question. Never.

There you go. Thanks!

So, does Mr. JacksonHall still think this is a team coached by Rowe?

I commented on the defensive switch which included the 1-2-1-1 press and the 3-2 defense which worked. Playing man to man defense (which we can't successfully do) and having 3s continue to rain down was a hallmark of Rowe's defense. So kudos to the coaching staff for changing things up.

Nacho is very important to this team it seems!

love the Nacho. total cliche - but the guy has a high basketball IQ and makes everyone around him better. have him run point and Morse at the 2. Nacho needs to work on his jump shot in the offseason

is this Morse's last year? it is impossible to know anymore. almost seems like these guys have unlimited elgibility. well, he is done, he was a senior. nope, now he is playing somewhere else as a grad transfer.

Yes, and when the “dynamic duo” of Nacho and Strickland are on the court at the same time something really electric happens to the D.

Glad Nacho is back because JMU is going to need his smart play to reach 16 or 17 wins, which I would consider a “good” season heading into next year.

Team roster lists Morse as a junior.

Apparently he’s working under the special “Russian” transfer eligibility clause.

Falden is the only one we're losing after this year. Well hopefully, we'll see how the portal goes.

Molson and Sule are also grad students.

With 2 years

"Sule, who has two years of eligibility remaining, said that familiarity helped in the recruiting process."

Too lazy on Molson, but he's got 2.

Edit:

Fine took a minute to get this...
“They will receive nothing less than 100 percent from me every night,” Molson said. He comes to JMU as a graduate transfer with two years of eligibility remaining and adds a three-level scorer and disruptive defensive presence to the Dukes’ rotation.

Thanks. These covid rules have thrown everyone off. Even the announcers last night said Sule won't be around for the jump to Sun Belt next year. But with Molson's knee it makes you wonder of he can make it back.
