- In that contest, Elon shot 45.5% from the field in the second half to hold off JMU, despite senior guard Ron Curry racking up a game-high 23 points, nine rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 36 minutes of court time.
- JMU took down the Phoenix in the two teams' only contest at Alumni Gym, an 86-75 decision on Feb. 14, 2015. Curry tallied a game-high 25 points in that contest and is averaging 19.3 points and 5.0 assists in three career games against Elon.
LAST TIME OUT
- James Madison used stifling defense and a pair of big runs to cruise past Drexel, 68-45, for its fourth straight Colonial Athletic Association men's basketball victory on Jan. 21 at the JMU Convocation Center.
- The Dukes improved to 15-5 overall and 5-2 in the CAA while the Dragons dropped their third in a row to fall to 3-15 and 1-6. Redshirt junior forward Dimitrije Cabarkapa came off the bench to score a team-best 14 points on 6-for-9 shooting, while senior guard Ron Curry tallied 12 points, six rebounds and three assists in 29 minutes.
- JMU shot 44 percent (24-54) from the floor and 73 percent (16-22) from the free throw line, while limiting Drexel to just 31 percent (15-48) shooting. The Dukes dominated the glass by a 44-20 margin, which included a 15-4 advantage on the offensive glass. JMU outscored DU 34-10 in the paint, 17-3 on second-chance points and a staggering 27-0 from reserves.
