JMU was picked 4th in preseason CAA polls.
The Dukes are 3-0 so far. The beat Carlow University (NAIA - River States Conference) 135 - 40, ODU 58-53, and Eastern Kentucky (79-78).
Their starting 5 is comprised of 6’3” Charles Falden, 6’8” Julien Wooden, 6’7” Justin Amadi, 6’6” Terrence Edwards, and 6’0” Vado Morse.
The Dukes are led by Jalen Hodge (13.0 ppg), Charles Falden (12.3 ppg), Vado Morse (11.3 ppg), Julien Wooden (10.3 ppg), Alonzo Sule (9.7 ppg), and Justin Amadi (9.3 ppg & 6.7 reb).

Stats: https://jmusports.com/sports/mens-basketball/stats?path=mbball
The Dukes average 90.7 ppg while giving up 57.0 ppg. Their stats are blown a bit out of proportion because of the win over Carlow. As a team they shoot 49.3% from the field and 32.2% from 3. Opponents shoot 34.8% overall and 22.5% from 3. They have out rebounded opponents by 12.3 boards per game.
The game is on NBC Sports+ (Verizon FIOS Channel 578) and Flosports.
My prediction: Who can ever forget the hotdog incident or Dre Smith going 10-10 from 3? George Evans throwing it down on David Fanning is classic! The pregame picture battles on the boards were so much fun. The best crowds we ever had were for Madison. It was a great in-state rivalry.
We’ve owned the Dukes since 2005 (23-2). Nothing changes. GMU 74 - JMU 70. I only wish the game was at EBA so we could all take out our keys and chant 66 west, 81 south!
Discuss.
Off topic: I had never heard of their game one opponent. A little research led me to learn that Carlow University is a private Catholic university in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It was founded in 1929 by the Sisters of Mercy. Carlow's thirteen athletic teams are the Celtics, a reflection of the university's Irish heritage and roots. In 2017–2018, the student body was 84% women and 16% men.
