- James Madison will face a daunting test in its final road game of the 2018-19 regular season on Saturday evening, traveling to first-place Hofstra for a 4 p.m. contest in Hempstead, N.Y.
- The Dukes fell to 12-16 (5-10 CAA) on the year on Thursday evening, erasing an 18-point first-half lead at Northeastern, but faltering down the stretch in a 76-60 loss that saw them fall a game out of sixth place in the league standings.
- Three JMU players pace the Dukes in scoring in 2018-19, all averaging at least 12 points per contest. Senior guard Stuckey Mosley leads the way with 17.3, while sophomores Matt Lewis and Darius Banks average 15.3 and 12.4, respectively.
- Earlier this season, Hofstra shot 56% (14-25) in the second half, using a 26-8 run midway through the period to pull away from the Dukes and hand JMU an 85-68 loss as the Pride pushed their advantage in the all-time series to 19-12.
- With the win, Hofstra now holds a 10-6 lead at the Convocation Center and an 8-6 advantage in Hempstead. The Pride has won four consectutive games in the series, halting a stretch in which the Dukes won five of six between 2015-17.
- Hofstra bounced back from an upset loss at UNCW last Saturday by taking down Towson on Thursday evening in a 91-82 double-overtime battle in Hempstead to improve to 23-5 (13-2 CAA) and remain atop the league standings. The Pride have also won all 15 games they have played on their home court in 2018-19.
- Senior guard Justin Wright-Foreman continues to lead Hofstra with an eye-popping 26.4 points per contest, good for the most in the league and third-most in the country while hitting 51% of his field goals and 42.4% of his three-pointers.
