Who scheduled a diii team on a wed @ 4pm? This has to be to convenience wbb, yes? Game tonight against a top 10 P5.

So it is a bad thing to be up 38-20 with 1:17 left in the 1st half. Seems like a tough crowd when this kind of halftime lead is not good enough and points are almost doubled up.

I see since now JMU is playing well Dukester has moved to goal posts.....savvy move.

A 20-30 point win today and this is a good day and gets kids back with confidence. They played bad 2nd half against a top-10 team........and the sky is falling, give me a freaking break. If you want to break out the torches and pitchforks at least wait until after the GMU and ODU games.

What is the reasoning for this game? To get an easy win? Let a smaller school some-what close play a 1A?

I "kinds maybe" understand the two close schools we now play, but why a small school 50-60 miles away?

Halftime
JMU 39
Doah 23

Not sure it is a benefit playing schools that are so under matched.

Yup part of the 2 DH basketball games......1st women had the early game, this time men have the early game....and yeah probably tough to get someone to play on a wednesday afternoon at 4pm.

Perhaps it's an effort to work on some things or possibly a way to get the new guys out there more.
My concern is that we had our main lineup out there and were struggling against a Div III team.... and a bad D-III at that. This game should not be remotely close and it was for far too long. It looks like we are finally putting things together, but this game should never be in doubt.

Yes exactly......you immediately post and gripe every 2 minutes while the game was very close for about 10 minutes.......then go silent when JMU plays well and opens up a big lead.

To follow-up with well if you don't win by more than their last game that is as good as an 'L' and follow-up with what is the use of this game.

We get it you wanted a different coach 4 years ago and did not want to stick with Rowe.....but that is not reality so deal with it.

I could really care less if you want to count this win or not (it counts in the record books so there is that)......but just like most FBS schools play an FCS team in football (if JMU is ever FBS Dukester will vehemently object to ever scheduling an FCS game again) it is very common for DI bball teams to play one DII/DIII/NAIA game each season and yes it counts on your win total.

Shady,

Last yeah Doah lost by an average of 25.5 a game to Division III, not division II, but Division III schools.

A 25 point win by JMU would not be a good day in my opinion. That a pretty high bar you have for the team.

I'll bet we win by at least 35, but apparently I have more confidence in the team than you do.

FOllowing loosely......a rough first 10 min followed by a dominant 2nd 10 minutes. Kind of sums it up.

Even with some breakaway layups to help their average JMU finished the half shooting 38%. This team can't shoot. That's a legitimate concern.

OK dude.......I have no idea how good 'doah' will be this year, but simply looking at last year's schedule is probably not the best indicator and a little early in the season to make that kind of determination. The team is f'ing 1-1....beat packline lite Ron Sanchez and lost by a lot to a top-10 team in the country. There is a reason top-20 teams play most of their OOC games at home b/c they are guaranteed wins. Sure Kentucky lost last night, but when is the last time that happened to a team like that on their home court prior.....been a while.

I am not saying Rowe is a great coach or this team will win 25 games but damn man cut them a little slack this is what you got for this season.

Agreed and concerning. If you can't boost your outside shooting percentage against a poor (and tired) DIII team, who are you going to shoot well against?

Just looked at their schedule last year and their 5-21 record. Incredible who they played and lost to.

I would bet some high schools in VA would play with and beat Shenandoah.

Sure there is room for improvement no doubt ( i would be more concerned about fixing the ft%)......but you know who else cannot shoot that team across afton mountain. They shot 38.2% sunday night and scored plenty of points.

As others have pondered, I'm not sure why we played this game - perhaps it the only option to have a double header. I doubt playing a team of this caliber will benefit us playing GMU and ODU. Can you imagine playing Mason and ODU after playing Doah?

Nice to see Wooden getting some points. I've liked his hustle this season.

Christmas will be CAA rookie of the year

Defense changed this game. JMU switching to the press changed the game.
