- The Dukes dropped their last contest at Delaware 81-60 on Monday. JMU held firm in the first half, closing the gap to three at the end of the half with an 8-2 run, but the Blue Hens pulled away in the second half behind 30 points for Jameer Nelson, Jr.

Among players with at least 50 field goal attempts, a pair of active Dukes - redshirt freshman Justin Amadi (.632) and graduate transfer Alonzo Sule (.604) are shooting over 60% from the field.
- After missing a lengthy stretch due to injury, redshirt freshman Tyree Ihenacho has made strong contributions since returning to action, filling up the stat sheet by averaging 4.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 1.5 steals across his six games back.
- After giving up at least 80 regulation points in six of their first eight conference contests, the Dukes have held five of their last six opponents below the 80-point mark in regulation.

- Thursday will be the 18th meeting between the two schools, with College of Charleston leading the series 11-6.
- The Dukes took the first meeting this season - in Harrisonburg on Jan. 22 - in a high-scoring, 95-94 affair. Morse set a career high with 32 points in that contest, making five threes and 13 free throws in the victory.
