It can also be seen online at MadiZONE HD SportsNet, presented by the JMU Alumni Association.

Scouting Report
- JMU enters the game on a four game win streak, sitting 17-11 overall with a 10-5 mark in the CAA (tied 1st place) while the College of Charleston comes to town sporting an 8-20 record while being 3-12 in the conference (tied 9th place). The Dukes are 10-7 at home this season while the Cougars are 2-10 in true road games this year.
- This is the fifth meeting ever between the programs and the times have split the previous four meetings, 2-2. JMU won the only game played in Harrisonburg and has won two straight, including a 61-50 win on Jan. 5 down in Charleston.
- In that game, JMU held the Cougars without a point for 9:30 and outscored them 43-24 over the final 25 minutes to earn the program's first-ever win at TD Arena. Ron Curry led all scorers with 19 points as JMU shot 50 percent as a time, while limiting CofC to 37 percent.
- Last time out for the Dukes, they shot 83.3 percent from the floor in the second half, the single-best shooting half in a game dating back to the 1997-98 season, as it fended off Drexel 82-78 Wednesday night at the Convo. It was the most points JMU ever scored against DU in 26 games to sweep that seasons series for only the second time ever. Ron Curry poured in a team-high 25 points and got to the free throw line often, where he connected on 13-of-16 attempts. Tom Vodanovich had a career-high 18 points, to go with seven rebounds and Dimitrije Cabarkapa kept his hot February going, tallying a career-best 12 in just 11 minutes. The Dukes held a dominant 36-23 rebounding advantage as they finished the game at 57.1 percent for the game and tied a season-best 61.5 percent from 3-point range.
- With that win, the Dukes clinched a winning season both overall and in CAA play. Though the Dukes are tied atop the league standings, all three teams hold post-season tiebreakers for seeding purposes, so for JMU to finish ahead of UNCW, Northeastern and William & Mary, the Dukes would have to finish a game ahead in the CAA standings. One more CAA triumph would match their conference win total from two years ago when they won the CAA Men's Basketball Championship.
- This season, the Dukes are a perfect 15-0 when leading with five minutes to play and are 16-1 when holding a higher shooting percentage. JMU is also 13-1 when winning the rebounding war, 9-2 when dishing out more assists and has compiled a 9-2 record in games decided by six points or less. It is also 10-1 when allowing foes to score less than 70 points.
- Ron Curry leads the Dukes as he averages 13.5 points per game, including the league's fourth-best 16.9 points per game in CAA games. He is tops in CAA play in 3-point percentage (.429) and is third in assists both on the year (4.3) and in league play (4.0). He has scored in double figures 20 times this year and has accrued seven 20-point games, including a career-high 27 in the road win at Hofstra.
- Canyon Berry leads the Cougars with 14.3 points per game and his is tied for fifth in the CAA with 2.3 treys made per outing and sixth in 3-point percentage (.410). He is the youngest son of NBA Hall of Famer Rick Barry and the fifth Barry son to play Division I basketball.
- The Dukes head out on the road for their final regular-season road trip on Wednesday at 7 p.m. when they take on UNCW.
