HARRISONBURG, Va. - Senior guard Matt Lewis racked up 28 points to lead a balanced attack on Sunday afternoon, powering James Madison to a 100-76 win over Chowan University in non-conference men's basketball at the Atlantic Union Bank Center.
Twelve different players scored for the Dukes (5-4) in the win, with seven tallying at least eight points on the strength of a 39-for-70 (55.7%) performance from the field. JMU also held Chowan to just 22 baskets on 61 shots (36.1%).
Lewis led the way in a red-hot shooting performance, hitting six of his eight three-pointers and all four of his attempts from inside the arc while adding four rebounds, three assists and a steal.
Sophomore forward Julien Wooden added 12 points, four boards and four assists in just 22 minutes, while junior guard Vado Morse tallied 10 points.
The Dukes sprinted out to a lead early in the first half, reeling off 14 straight points to take a 28-14 advantage at the 11:16 mark. JMU would push the lead to as many as 21 before halftime before Chowan cut it back to 44-32 at the break.
Just before the midway point of the second half, the Dukes would rip off another 12-2 run to take a 63-43 lead with 13:20 to play, putting things out of reach down the stretch.
Jonathan McFall led the way for Chowan, racking up 20 points, five rebounds and a pair of steals.
QUOTING COACH BYINGTON
"Obviously not the most thrilling, exciting game today. I didn't think we were very sharp or played great - it was a game where I was looking at certain guys and giving them a little bit of an opportunity. I do feel like I'm still learning the team - we need to get better with our competitiveness and having an edge. We're going to keep working on that."
QUICK HITS
- Senior guard Matt Lewis notched his 46th consecutive game with at least one three-pointer in the win, marking the second-longest active streak in Division I.
- The Dukes scored 56 points in the second half, clearing the 50-point mark after halftime for the third time in four games.
- Freshman forward Justin Amadi tallied nine points on 4-of-5 shooting, making him 11-for-12 from the field in his last two games and raising season field-goal percentage to 76.6%.
- JMU scored 100 points for the first time since a 104-99 win at Hofstra on on Feb. 23, 2019 and the first time in regulation since sprinting past UNCW in a 104-95 win on Feb. 2 of that year.
