QUICK HITS
- The Dukes head into the contest riding a six-game win streak, coming off a 75-55 win over Delaware Friday night at the Convocation Center. Madison claimed the top spot in the Colonial Athletic Assocation with a 6-1 record while UNCW rounds out the standings at 2-6.
- UNCW is coming off a 53-51 win over Towson on Friday night. The Seahawks were led by redshirt senior guard Shatia Cole with 19 points and redshirt junior guard Jasmine Steele with 17.Â
- Freshman center Kayla Cooper-Williams set the JMU freshman blocks record Friday night with a pair of denials, pushing her career total to 38.Â
- Heading into the match, the Dukes lead the all-time series 56-9 and have won the last 10 meetings. The last time out, James Madison defeated UNCW 85-49 to clinch the top seed in the 2015 CAA Tournament.
- JMU has won 11 straight games at the Convocation Center. In series history, the Dukes have only lost three times to the Seahawks at the Convo.
- In the CAA, JMU tops the leaderboard for scoring offense at 72.2 points per game while UNCW is in 10th with 55.1 points per game.
- FORMAT:Â Instead of two 20-minute halves, women's basketball games will now have four 10-minute periods with an intermission between the first and second periods and the third and fourth periods as well as a 15-minute halftime intermission.
- FOULS:Â A player will be awarded two free throws for each common foul committed by a team starting with the fifth team foul in each period - there are no more 1-and-1 situations. Team foul counts will reset at the beginning of each period.
- TEAM-CALLED TIMEOUTS:Â Each team will have four timeouts to be used during the course of the game (three 30-second timeouts and one full 60-second timeout). Three timeouts carry over to the second half; if no timeout is taken in the first half, a team loses one 30-second timeout. If the game goes past regulation, one 30-second timeout is awarded for each extra period, plus the remaining second-half timeouts.
- MEDIA TIMEOUTS (2:45 in length):Â There will be seven media timeouts during regulation time: three prior to halftime and four after halftime. The intermission between the first and second periods as well as the intermission between the third and fourth periods will count as media timeouts. Each period will have one media timeout at either the first team-called timeout of the period OR the first dead ball at or below the five-minute mark. A floating media timeout will take place during either the third or fourth period at the first team-called timeout. This will not eliminate the set media timeout of that period.
