Game Plan
- James Madison rounds out its three-game road swing on Valentine's Day when it faces Elon on Saturday night at Alumni Gymnasium. This wraps up JMU's and Elon's regular-season series.
- The game can viewed online at Phoenix All-Access, MadiZONE HD SportsNet or CAA.TV.
- Fans can also listen to the action online on the JMU/nTelos Wireless Broadcast Network and on the local airwaves at WSVA AM 550 and 92.1 FM beginning at 6:30 p.m.
Scouting Report
- JMU enters Saturday with a 15-11 overall record and 8-5 mark in the CAA while Elon is 11-15 and 3-10 on the year. The Dukes have won two straight on the road and are 6-4 in true road games this season, including a 5-2 mark in CAA. The Phoenix has compiled a 6-5 record at Alumni Gym but has dropped four of their last five on the home hardwood.
- This is the third meeting ever between the two programs and JMU leads it 2-0, with a pair of wins in Harrisonburg. This will be JMU's first trip ever to Elon as it looks to sweep the season series after upended Elon 75-72 back on Jan. 17 in Harrisonburg.
- Last time out for the Dukes, they used a 22-3 run to bridge the halves and Yohanny Dalembert recorded his second double-double of the season to lead JMU to a 67-54 win Tuesday night at Delaware. That victory was JMU's second season sweep of a CAA opponent (UD and Towson). Dalembert scored 14 points and had 10 rebounds while Joey McLean scored 13 points, 11 of which came in the first half. Four other Dukes tallied between seven and nine points in the victory.
- This season, the Dukes have found a way to battle back, winning eight games when trailing by six or more, including a 14-point comeback at Hofstra. JMU's last win at UD marked the second time this season against the Blue Hens that the Dukes had to overcome a deficit for the win. JMU is also 6-2 when scoring between 60-69 points and 10-1 when holding teams to under 70. JMU is also 11-1 when winning the rebounding battle and 9-2 when dishing more assists.
- One area that JMU is unbeaten is when leading down the stretch as the Dukes are 13-0 when leading with five minutes to play and 14-0 when up with two minutes on the clock.
- The Dukes are led by Ron Curry, who scores 12.7 points per game, including the fifth-best scoring average during CAA play at 15.6 points per contest. He also dishes 4.3 assists per outing which is among the best in the conference. He saw his 11-game double-figure scoring streak end at 11 straight on Tuesday after scoring eight points. He was named CAA Player of the Week for the second time this season last Monday after averaging 24.0 points the week prior, including a career-high 27 at Towson after he drained the game-winning jumper at the buzzer.
- Elon is paced by Rookie of the Year candidate Elijah Bryant. The freshman scores 13.7 points per game, and has improved during CAA action, recording 14.8 per outing. He also averages 2.6 assists and 1.2 steals while shooting better than 75 percent from the charity stripe.
- The Dukes return home next Wednesday, Feb. 18, when they host Drexel at 7 p.m. at the JMU Convocation Center. That game opens a string of three home games over the final four contests to end the regular season.
