QUICK HITS

- Redshirt senior guard Jazmon Gwathmey was named the Colonial Athletic Association Player of the Week for the fifth time this season following a weekend averaging 25.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists per win at UNCW and against Elon.Â
- With a 77-41 win at UNCW on Friday, Feb. 26, the Dukes clinched the regular season title and the top-seed in the CAA Championship tournament for the third straight year. The conference tournament is Mar. 9-12 at the Show Place Arena in Upper Marlboro, Md.
- The Blue Hens enter their last regular-season game looking to capitalize on momentum from a 56-44 victory at UNCW on Sunday. Delaware holds an 8-3 record at home while JMU matches an 8-3 record on the road.Â
- After a 75-55 win over UD at the Convocation Center on Jan.29, JMU holds an 18-13 advantage over Delaware in the all-time series. James Madison has also won the last six meetings, with their last loss coming in Delaware in 2013.Â
RULES CHANGES
- FORMAT:Â Instead of two 20-minute halves, women's basketball games will now have 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:Â 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:Â 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):Â 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.
