I haven’t heard anything on Jacobs, but he isn’t even in uniform.

JMU shot well in the first half and Darius Banks is on his way to a 4th straight 20 pt game.
Wilson is tracking for a double double and is holding his own against Gardner. On defense The Dukes have used zone a lot and that has been mostly effective in preventing paint touches for Gardner.

Hope Jacobs didn't get pissed at losing his starting position and quit.

Dukes playing ball.

Game tightening up a bit, need to learn to put things away the last 5 mins.

Been thinking the same thing. Lead down to 10 w/ about a minute left.

Rowe has a pattern of only giving minutes to subs in the first half. I think guys wear down in second half which leads to mistakes and comebacks by other teams.

99-89 Dukes win

That was an offensive explosion and a nice, convincing win where the Dukes controlled the game from start to finish.

Banks hits 20+ for the 4th consecutive game
Wilson outplayed Gardner in the battle of the bigs.

Nice win over an AAC team

Not sure the cause, but a definite pattern in games I've seen. Against GMU we also looked good until the last 5 mins. Need to fix this before CAA play.

Seemed like they ran offensive plays with the exception a a couple times. They play poorly when pressed. FT shooting has improved. Way better than a few days ago.

Good win. Nice bounce back.

How about Wilson playing 32 minutes in a fast paced game. He didn’t look winded and he produced throughout. That wouldn’t have happened 2 years ago. Kudos to him for achieving the fitness level the team needs him to be at.
