QUICK HITS

James Madison will look to sweep its two-game homestand at the Convocation Center this weekend as it welcomes Delaware to Harrisonburg for an 8 p.m. bout on Saturday evening.
The Dukes moved to 11-15 (4-9 CAA) on the year on Thrusday evening, holding on for a 71-69 win over Drexel at the Convo to move out of the cellar and into eighth place in the league standings.
The victory was the Dukes' seventh at home this year in just 11 chances, already tied with last season's performance at the Convocation Center with three home games remaining this season.
Earlier this season, Delaware held off the hard-charging Dukes as the Blue Hens picked up a 76-69 win over JMU in Newark that pushed their advantage in the all-time series to 19-12 with their fifth consecutive win over the Dukes.
Three JMU players pace the Dukes in scoring in 2018-19, all averaging at least 12 points per contest. Senior guard Stuckey Mosley leads the way with 17.3, while sophomores Matt Lewis and Darius Banks average 15.5 and 12.7, respectively.
Delaware has won consecutive games over the last seven days, besting UNCW in a 70-66 decision at home last Saturday before handing Towson a 78-71 double-overtime loss on Thursday to improve to 16-11 (8-6 CAA) on the season. The Blue Hens are now 7-6 in true road games this year after snapping a three-game road losing streak at Towson.
Senior forward Eric Carter continues to shoulder the load for Delaware as one of just two players in the league averaging a double-double to this point, racking up 16.5 points and 10.2 rebounds per contest for the Blue Hens.
