JMU HOSTS OLD DOMINION SATURDAY

James Madison men's basketball looks to get back in the win column on Saturday, Jan. 10, as the Dukes host the Old Dominion Monarchs at the Atlantic Union Bank Center.
Tipoff from the AUBC is slated for 4 p.m., with the game available on ESPN+ and the JMU Radio Network.
This is the second meeting between the two schools this season, as ODU defeated JMU 77-68 in Norfolk in Dec. 17, 2025. The Monarchs sit at 5-12 overall and 2-3 in Sun Belt play following a win over Coastal on Jan. 8.

ON THE AIR

Saturday's game will stream on ESPN+ with Curt Dudley (PxP), Steve Buckhantz (analyst), and Cathleen Paulson (sideline).
The game can also be heard on the Varsity Network App and WSVA 92.1 FM | 550 AM with Dave Riggert.

NUMBERS TO KNOW

62: Since the Atlantic Union Bank Center opened in the 2020-21 season, James Madison is 62-17 (.784) in home games overall and 22-6 (.786) against Sun Belt Conference opponents. JMU's loss to Marshall on Wednesday is its first to a SBC opponent since App State in January 2025.
30: Through 16 games of the season, freshman Christian Brown has recorded 30 blocks. That mark currently puts Brown fourth all-time among JMU freshman in blocks, four away from tying Steve Stielper's total of 34 in the 1976-77 season. The JMU freshman record for blocks is held by Andre Nation, who swatted 47 blocks in the 2012-13 season.

LAST TIME OUT: DUKES' COMEBACK FALLS SHORT VS. MARSHALL

James Madison trimmed a 13-point deficit to 64-62 with two minutes remaining, but could not complete the comeback, as the Dukes fell to Marshall, 66-64, at the Atlantic Union Bank Center on Wednesday night.
JMU (8-8, 1-3 Sun Belt) held Marshall (11-6, 3-1 SBC) to zero field goals over the final 6:56 and just 38.3 percent from the field, its second-lowest shooting percentage of the season.
