After nearly two weeks off, James Madison travels to New York to take on the Fordham Rams in a Thursday night bout in Rose Hill Gym. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. and the game is available to watch on ESPN+.
The Dukes' last matchup was against George Mason in Fairfax, Va., where JMU dropped a 66-53 decision. Redshirt senior Stuckey Mosley led the offense for the Dukes, racking up 20 points while sophomore Matt Lewis tallied 18 points and a season-high eight rebounds.
Three Dukes are averaging double-digit scoring this season: Mosley (17.1), Lewis (14.5) and sophomore Darius Banks (13.9). Sophomore Dwight Wilson leads JMU's rebounding effort, averaging 8.3 per contest.
This will only be the third meeting between the two programs and JMU leads the all-time series 2-0. The Dukes and Rams last met on December 23, 2009, when JMU won 85-73 in the Convocation Center.
Fordham is coming off a close win over Howard, winning 74-67 on Sunday in Rose Hill Gym. Junior guard Antwon Portley had a game-high 22 points with seven boards while freshmen Jalen Cobb and Nick Honor scored in double-digits, tallying 13 and 11 respectively.
