The Dukes completed the 2023-24 regular season with a 28-3 overall record and 15-3 ledger in conference play. It is the most wins a JMU team has won in the regular season in program history, and the second-consecutive season with 20-plus wins.
App State (26-5, 16-2 SBC) claimed the outright regular-season championship and top seed. Following JMU in the top four were No. 3 seed Troy (20-11, 13-5 SBC) and No. 4 seed Arkansas State (16-15, 11-7 SBC).
