Was a little concerned. We really have little room for error.

Just keep winning. Style points not as big a deal as wins at this point.

Warrennolan predicts us at 28-1 this year.

Liberty lost their 4th game in a row tonight at home to UNC-Greensboro, 58-53. They travel to the Convo with a 1-4 record. Opened with a W over Norfolk State. They did "only" lose to the Hokies in Blacksburg by 4 pts. So, they could be dangerous.

I hope we beat them by a thousand points. Can't stand anything about that place.

Go Dukes!

Swept the Big East teams on the schedule! On to Liberty!

Is Liberty having a down year? I seem to remember them having a decent WBB team.

I'd like to see some SIGNS at the Liberty game. They could play off the Liberty Insurance commercials, which are tiresome.

On the subject of last night's game and the preceding one, it's obvious what happens when we play without our PG. No offense to anyone subbing for her, but Maddy is the one who knows better how to distribute the ball and run the game. So what is her injury and when is she expected back?? If JMU has a weakness, it's that we don't have a true backup for her, and that really should have been addressed in the off season. We can't wait a whole year for a backup, if that's what Brianna Tinsley is (and I don't think she is) or for a freshman PG to come in. I thought Nikki was supposed to be her backup, but she hasn't been used as such. What the heck, Coach? Could you tell us what's going on, please?

Coach owes OTP an explanation RIGHT NOW

He actually talked about it in the Monday presser. If I recall, he didn't give a timetable for how long she would be out. But he talked about it like it wouldn't be a season ending injury or anything horrible.
As a positive, he believes there are several players good enough to take the ball down the court. I believe he felt Barrier might be the best option but also thought Kiki could actually do it as well. He thought if Kiki was taking point, they could do some things to still be able to make her the scoring threat she is.
My point is that he has a lot of different ways to solve the problem of Maddie out.
I suggest you check out the presser if you haven't already. He has some good things in there about the team.

Absolutely!!!

But you know it's no biggie, the players are probably still tired so don't give them nor the coach a hard time.

My best guess is on the JMU Sports facebook page. I think they live stream them on there.

Everyone take a breath....please.....

O to P, if you follow the JMUsports Facebook page, the press conferences are on there every Monday or you can scroll through the page to find them later in the week. The press conference is held at O'Neill's every Monday and the luncheons are open to the public.

Unless the coaching staff has made something public either in the media or through one of these press conferences or a pre-or post game interview for one of the games, people should not learn about injuries and their extent/seriousness on this message board. There are people who post on this board - and I am one of them - who because of what we do or who we may know, learn about a lot of things that cannot and should not be shared here. I don't think it is appropriate for any of us to speculate on a player's injury or share information that the player or the team may not want to be made public at that time. Please respect that privacy.

Most teams let you know on their TEAM page and update you from time to time. That's what I'm used to. Just saying.

PMs are so hidden it's hard to find them, but thanks for the info. Sorry to hear about the injuries though.
