QUICK HITS

This is the final road game of a long stretch away from the Convo for the Dukes. They have been away from home for seven of the last eight games.
This is also the final nonconference road game of the 2016-17 season. The Dukes close out OOC play on New Year's Eve with Wake Forest at home.
Redshirt senior guard Precious Hall has scored in double figures each of the first nine games this season. Freshman guard Kamiah Smalls has scored in double figures six times.
Three Saint Joseph's players are averaging double-figure scoring, led by Chelsea Woods at 14.0 ppg. Woods also leads the Hawks in rebounding at 7.5 rpg.
JMU and St. Joe's have faced off just three times previously on the hardwood. The Dukes and Hawks last met Jan. 22, 1990 in Harrisonburg - the only win for SJU in the series history (JMU leads 2-1).
This marks SJU's third straight contest against a CAA team. The Hawks have lost to Drexel (60-49) and Hofstra (75-64).

NCAA WOMEN'S BASKETBALL RULES

FORMAT: Women's basketball games has four 10-minute periods with an intermission between the first and second periods and the third and fourth periods as well as a 15-minute halftime intermission.
FOULS: A player will be awarded two free throws for each common foul committed by a team starting with the fifth team foul in each period - there are no more 1-and-1 situations. Team foul counts will reset at the beginning of each period.
TEAM-CALLED TIMEOUTS: Each team will have four timeouts to be used during the course of the game (three 30-second timeouts and one full 60-second timeout). Three timeouts carry over to the second half; if no timeout is taken in the first half, a team loses one 30-second timeout. If the game goes past regulation, one 30-second timeout is awarded for each extra period, plus the remaining second-half timeouts.
MEDIA TIMEOUTS (2:45 in length): There will be seven media timeouts during regulation time: three prior to halftime and four after halftime. The intermission between the first and second periods as well as the intermission between the third and fourth periods will count as media timeouts. Each period will have one media timeout at either the first team-called timeout of the period OR the first dead ball at or below the five-minute mark. A floating media timeout will take place during either the third or fourth period at the first team-called timeout. This will not eliminate the set media timeout of that period.
