QUICK HITS

James Madison remains in fourth place in the Colonial Athletic Association despite dropping a heartbreaking 53-51 loss to College of Charleston on Thursday.
A three-pointer in the first half against the Cougars marked senior guard Jackson Kent's 1,000th career point. He is the 30th player in JMU history to reach the milestone.
Senior forward Yohanny Dalembert continued his good form, scoring 13 points and grabbing six points off the bench.
The Dukes outrebounded their opponent for the 15th time in 18 games, securing 35 boards compared to College of Charleston's 28. JMU limited the Cougars to only three offensive rebounds.
Kent leads the Dukes with 13.6 points per game. He also averages 4.6 boards and 2.3 assists per game.
Elon is in sixth in the CAA, but enters Saturday's contest on a two-game winning streak after taking down Towson and Hofstra. The Phoenix are 0-2 in conference road games.
The Phoenix have four players that average double figures, led by sophomore guard Steven Santa Ana, who scores 13.4 points per game.
Sophomore forward Tyler Seibring is the only Elon player to have started every game this season. He averages 12.9 points and 6.5 rebounds per game. He leads the team with 14 blocks this season.
JMU leads the all-time series 4-1, and holds a 2-1 advantage at home.
The Dukes and Phoenix split the season series last year with Elon winning 79-73 in Harrisonburg and JMU winning 82-64 in Elon.
