QUICK HITS

James Madison remains at home for its second contest of the season, as the Dukes welcome Buffalo to the Atlantic Union Bank Center (AUBC) on Monday. Tip is slated for 4 p.m. on FloSports.
JMU opened the season in the AUBC with a 69-55 win against Mount St. Mary's on Wednesday. Sophomore Rayne Tucker posted a dominant double-double in a career-high 16 points and a career-high 18 rebounds.
Head Coach Sean O'Regan (JMU, '03) enters his fifth season at the helm, boasting a 104-30 (.776) overall record as a head coach. Last season, Coach O earned his 100th win against Drexel on Feb. 28.
The Dukes have six new faces in four freshmen - Annalicia Goodman (F), Peyton McDaniel (G), Jamia Hazell (G) and Steph Ouderkirk (F); and two graduate transfers - Anne Diouf (F, Georgia Tech) and Morgan Smith (F, Georgetown). Freshman Bailey Williams opted-out the season.
JMU was selected to finish first in the Colonial Athletic Association by a vote of the league's head coaches. The Dukes received six first-place votes for a total of 76 points. Drexel (65) and Towson (60) round out the top three. Sophomore Kiki Jefferson and junior Brianna Tinsley garnered Preseason All-CAA honors as Jefferson landed on the First Team while Tinsley earned an honorable mention.
Jefferson, 2019-20 CAA Rookie of the Year, dominated her freshman campaign as she earned the CAA Rookie of the Week nod nine times, which is the second-most in CAA history behind WNBA All-Star Elena Delle Donne. Last season Jefferson posted 9.8 points per game on an efficient 46.4 percent (98-of-211) shooting from the field and boasted a 39.7 percent (29-of-73) clip from behind the arc.
Tinsley, transfer from Virginia, will finally get her chance to don a Dukes uniform and play after sitting out in 2019-20 due to NCAA transfer rules. Prior to transferring, in the 2018-19 season for the Cavaliers, Tinsley played in all 31 games with 27 starts, averaging 7.6 ppg, scoring in double figures nine times.

Buffalo will begin its 2020-21 season on Monday, making the trip to Harrisonburg to face the Dukes.
The Bulls finished the 2019-20 season with a 19-12 overall record and a 9-9 record in the MAC.
Head Coach Felisha Legette-Jack enters her ninth year at the helm with a record of 162-98 with the Bulls. Overall, Legette-Jack boasts a 303-261 coaching record in her 19-year career.
