Scouting Report

JMU clinched the 2015 CAA regular-season title on Friday night with an 82-47 win over Northeastern at the Convo. The Dukes earned their second straight regular-season title and third in the last five years.
The Dukes saw 10 players see action and score against the Huskies, led by 18 points from junior guard Precious Hall and redshirt-junior guard Jazmon Gwathmey. Redshirt-senior center Lauren Okafor posted 11 points and junior guard Ashley Perez added 10 points to round out the double-digit scorers for JMU.
Additionally, junior guard Angela Mickens tallied seven assists, giving her 203 on the season, which is good for the second-best total in a single season in JMU history. She needs 21 assists to become the all-time leader in single-season assists (224).
The last time JMU faced Delaware, the Dukes walked away with a 94-64 home victory over the Blue Hens. The win also marked No. 303 for Head Coach Kenny Brooks, making him the all-time winningest coach in JMU women's basketball history. JMU has won the last four meetings with Delaware, including the 2014 CAA tournament championship game.
Delaware is coming off a 71-68 overtime loss at UNCW on Thursday night, extending the Blue Hen's losing streak to three games. The streak began with their earlier loss to JMU, which snapped Delaware's five-game win-streak.
Sunday's game will feature the CAA's top two shooting teams from beyond the arc, as Delaware leads the league with a 36.5 percent shooting average from 3-point range and JMU is just behind with a 35.8 shooting average.
When it comes to defending the arc, however, JMU ranks second in the CAA while Delaware is ninth. The Dukes' opponents are shooting 29.6 percent from 3-point range while the Blue Hens' foes are shooting 34.3 percent from beyond the arc.
