QUICK HITS

James Madison will start its final push towards the 2019 CAA Tournament on Thursday evening, opening the final weekend of the season with a 7 p.m. matchup against Elon at the Convocation Center.
The Dukes improved to 13-16 (6-10 CAA) and put themselves in position to fight for a top-six seed this past Saturday evening, going on the road to knock off first-place Hofstra in a 104-99 win in overtime.
Heading into the regular season's final weekend, the Dukes are tied for seventh place in the league standings at 6-10 with travel partner Towson, but are just two games out of a tie for fourth and are capable of finishing anywhere between fourth and 10th.
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 17.4, while sophomores Matt Lewis and Darius Banks average 16.1 and 12.4, respectively.
Elon has won just one of its last six games, topping UNCW at home this past Thursday in an 84-77 decision before falling to College of Charleston on Saturday's Senior Day to fall to 9-20 (5-11 CAA) and into ninth place in the league standings. The Phoenix have a better record on the road than at home this year, going 4-7 in 11 true road contests and just 5-11 on their home court.
Senior forward Tyler Seibring continues to pace the Elon offense with 16.5 points per contest, leading the way for an offense that has hoisted a staggering 855 three-point attempts thus far this season, the fourth-most in Division I.
Earlier this season, Elon upended the Dukes in their first visit to the Schar Center, storming out to an early lead and pushing the advantage to as many as 17 in the second half, then holding off a furious rally to pick up a 68-65 win and cut JMU's all-time advantage in the series to 7-3.
