The Dukes only have one game at Hampton between now and the next AP poll release so there is a great chance JMU remains in the national consciousness as a top 25 team for another full week.

The Pirates are brutal with a 1-5 record and 3 uncounted “victories” against teams called Mid-Atlantic Christian, Mary Baldwin, and VA-Lynchburg. These are not made up names boys and girls.
The team does like to run so we may see triple digits for the Dukes again in a fast paced matchup.

Hampton doesn’t draw many fans. In addition, their campus will be closed after exams end this week so tickets will be easy to get and fans can sit as close to the court as they want. If JMU fans don’t outnumber Hampton fans, then I will be very disappointed.
It is a great chance for Hampton Roads fans to see the #20 Dukes twice in one week.

The game time is a nice convenient 2PM start to allow for travel in/travel out on the same day with time to mix in some Christmas shopping or holiday parties afterwards.

#20 James Madison 187
#314 Hampton 68

:lauramac:Run it up Byington. Billy Tubbs style. No mercy. The SOS is not going to help the Dukes at all this year.

Will be there. There was a decent amount of $20 tickets right behind the JMU bench as of a couple days ago.

Shorter drive than Harrisonburg for RVA folks.

We actually have plans to visit the in-laws in Williamsburg this weekend so I was almost able to pull off going to this one.... however.....

I was also recently informed will be taking the kids to see Santa at the Richmond children's museum before said trip.... because this is life now.


... Go Dukes.

I'm totally envisioning the dept store Santa scene from the movie 'Elf'.

Random thought unrelated to this game...

You know who stinks? Louisville. They really stink. I don't care if their HC a L'Ville legend. They could toss him aside and let Danny Manning step up in to the HC role, but he's been nothing but mediocre for years now.

Byington keeps winning, IMO he's going to be on the short list of some ACC or other program.

For those going to the game this Saturday at Hampton, you can save a few bucks using the promo code “JMU”
College basketball tickets don’t get any cheaper than this and you get to watch the #20 team in the nation to boot.

Be patient, soon enough they'll be asking you to take them to the game instead of Santa!

Hate to ask this, but does FLO have a one game option?

Doesn't appear so. $15 to watch but will you remember to cancel your subscription?

(12-15-2023 08:42 AM)Dukester Wrote:  Hate to ask this, but does FLO have a one game option?

One game option = sign up for CAA plan for $15, cancel same day.

They seem proud of this

I can't give flow $15 more

I'll watch the stats and maybe listen to Dave......

Does anyone know what’s up with parking? I assume free but there’s zero info online

When the wife and I went to the WBB game at Hampton last season parking was free.

Thank you!

There have several things that have contributed to the team’s improvement this year.
But the most important change of them all is in this photo.
Can you name it?
