QUICK HITS

JMU looks to end a four-game losing streak after dropping a tough 66-61 loss to Delaware on Saturday.
The Dukes sit in seventh in the Colonial Athletic Association standings, but are just two games behind third-place Elon.
Senior forward Ivan Lukic racked up a career-high 17 points on 6-for-9 shooting against Delaware, seven points more than his previous career best.
Senior guard Jackson Kent leads the Dukes with 13.9 points, including 16.4 during conference play.
The Dukes had a season-high 12 steals against Delaware, with Kent leading the way with four takeaways.
Elon is on a four-game win streak, with its last loss coming at JMU on Jan. 14.
Sophomore forward Tyler Seibring has won the CAA Payer of the Week award for two weeks in a row, and is averaging 17.0 points and 6.5 rebounds per game in conference play.
The Phoenix ranks fourth in the CAA in both field goal percentage (.457) and three-point field goal percentage (.359).
The Dukes hold a 5-1 lead in the all-time series. Before Elon joined the CAA for the 2014-15 season, the two teams had played just once before, a 108-94 JMU win on Nov. 29, 1975.
The Jan. 14 win was also the most recent win for the Dukes, spurred by a 21-point performance from Kent and a big defensive stop on the last possession of the game.
