QUICK HITS
- James Madison will face the second leg of a three-game road swing on Saturday afternoon, traveling to Long Island to face Hofstra in a 2 p.m. matchup in Hempstead.
- The Dukes picked up a crucial road win on Thursday evening, opening their travels with a 76-71 win at Northeastern to improve to 13-7 (4-5) on the season and improve to 4-1 in true road games in 2021-22.
- Redshirt junior Vado Morse leads JMU on offense with 15.6 points per game this season, which ranks second in the league. Morse is averaging 21.7 points per game in league play, and has eclipsed 18 points in eight of nine conference tilts.
- James Madison ranks 29th in the nation and first in the league with a 47.7% field goal percentage so far this season. Among players with at least 50 field goal attempts, three Dukes - redshirt freshman Justin Amadi (.647), graduate transfer Alonzo Sule (.609), and redshirt freshman Terell Strickland (.563) - are all shooting at least 55% from the field. The Dukes have only shot below 40% from the field twice in 2021-22.
- After missing a lengthy stretch due to injury, redshirt freshman Tyree Ihenacho returned to action for JMU on Thursday night, providing crucial minutes down the stretch for the Dukes and finishing with five points, seven boards, three assists and two steals.
- JMU has taken care of the basketball in recent games, turning the ball over fewer than 10 times in three of their last six. The Dukes' low turnover total has contributed to a 1.11 assist-to-turnover ratio this season, while opponents have a .90 ratio.
- The Dukes have given up 80 or more points in six of nine conference games, after not allowing a single opponent to reach 80 before conference play. JMU has also scored 80 or more five times in league play, after not doing so against a Division I non-conference foe.
- Hofstra has lost back-to-back games heading into Saturday's matchup, albeit with both losses coming to the top two teams in the league standings, capped by a 78-68 loss to Towson at home on Thursday evening.
- Junior guard Aaron Estrada leads a potent Pride attack that has five players averaging double figures, with Estrada pacing the group at 17.3ppg overall and 22.9ppg in league play - both numbers are tops in the entire league.
- Since league play started, Hofstra has knocked down 109 of 128 free throw attempts, an 85.2% clip that leads the league by 8.8%.
- Earlier this season, Hofstra handed the Dukes their first home loss of the season, picking up an 87-80 win in Harrisonburg.
- The win, which was JMU's first game in nearly a month, saw the Dukes shoot 52.7% from the field and put four players in double-figure scoring, but Hofstra used an 8-0 run across the final 3:45 to capture a back-and-forth bout that had a remarkable 23 lead changes.
