SCOUTING THE SEAHAWKS
- UNCW has matched the Dukes' five-game winning streak to improve to 14-5 (6-2 CAA) this season and draw level with JMU and Hofstra atop the league standings after wins over Delaware (79-70) and Drexel (77-71) last weekend.
- Although the Seahawks have won eight of their nine games at home this year, they are just 4-4 on opponents' home courts in 2015-16, dropping contests at Georgetown (82-87), East Carolina (73-78) and Radford (67-69) before falling at Towson (60-76) in their third conference game.
- Junior guard Chris Flemmings, maybe the hottest player in the league, paces a balanced UNCW offense that has four players averaging double-digit points. Flemmings' 16.0 leads the group, with junior guard Denzel Ingram (12.3), senior guard Craig Ponder (11.4) and three-time CAA Rookie of the Week C.J. Bryce (11.1) all contributing consistently.
SERIES HISTORY
- The Seahawks swept both matchups with the Dukes in 2014-15 to take a 35-33 lead in the all-time series between the squads as they head into their 69th meeting.
- Both teams hold a solid advantage on their respective home courts, with UNCW leading 19-12 in Wilmington, while the Dukes have won 19 of the 30 contests held in Harrisonburg.
- In the last matchup, then-junior guard Ron Curry racked up a game-high 23 points and then-sophomore forward Yohanny Dalembert added 11 points, nine rebounds as the Seahawks earned a 74-54 home win on Feb. 25, 2015.
LAST TIME OUT
- After a blistering opening half from Elon, James Madison held the Phoenix to 25% shooting from the field in the second period to pick up an 82-64 road win in Colonial Athletic Association men's basketball action on Jan. 23.
- The Dukes moved to 16-5 (6-2 CAA) on the season with the win, marking the first time since the 1981-82 campaign that JMU has started the year with that record. JMU is also 7-0 on the road this season, the best start in program history and just three wins from the school record for road wins.
- Five JMU players scored in double figures in a well-balanced evening, led by junior forward Paulius Satkus. The Raudondvaris, Lithuania, native had a breakout evening for the Dukes, racking up a season-high 14 points and matching his career best with a team-best eight rebounds.
SUITS AND SNEAKERS
- The JMU Men's Basketball coaching staff will be wearing sneakers with their suits at the game in support of the American Cancer Society's Suits and Sneakers Week.
- The Coaches vs. Cancer program is a nationwide collaboration between the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC). The initiative leverages the personal experiences, community leadership and professional excellence of coaches nationwide to make a difference in the fight against cancer.
- The program seeks to increase cancer awareness and promote healthy living among students, faculty and staff, fans and the community at large. Since its inception in 1993, the American Cancer Society Coaches vs. Cancer initiative has raised more than $93 million to support the Society's mission.
