DUKES STILL DANCING! FACES BLUE DEVILS IN SECOND ROUND

JMU and Duke will match up for the first time ever in men's basketball on Sunday evening.
Making its sixth appearance ever in the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship, JMU is 5-5 all-time in the tournament.
The Dukes have never reached the Sweet 16 but have made Second Round appearances in 1981, 1982, 1983 and 2024 while winning a First Four matchup in 2013.
It is also JMU's eighth all-time NCAA berth, joining a pair of Division II appearances.
This is JMU's first time as a No. 12 seed.
Friday's 72-61 victory over No. 5 Wisconsin marked the highest-seeded team JMU has ever defeated in March Madness.
JMU also owns NCAA Championship against West Virginia (#7 in 1983), Ohio State (#8 in 1982) and Georgetown (#7 in 1981).
This is JMU's third all-time meeting with an ACC opponent, having played North Carolina in both 1982 and 1983.

WHAT'S AT STAKE

The JMU-Duke winner heads to Dallas next Friday, March 29 for the Sweet 16 in the NCAA South Region.
The advancing squad will face the winner of No. 1 Houston and No. 9 Texas A&M, which face off Sunday night in Memphis.
A win would put JMU in the Sweet 16 for the first time in school history.
JMU is 0-3 all-time in NCAA second-round games, having dropped contests to Notre Dame (54-45 in 1981), and UNC in consecutive seasons (52-50 in 1982, 68-49 in 1983).
Consistent with Friday's win over Wisconsin being the highest-seeded team it's ever beaten, a triumph over Duke would be the best win ever in the tournament for the Dukes.

SCOUTING THE BLUE DEVILS

No. 4 seed Duke enters Sunday's NCAA second round with a 25-8 overall record.
The Blue Devils opened tournament play with a 64-47 victory over No. 13 Vermont on Friday at Barclays Center.
During the regular season, Duke posted a 15-5 record in ACC play, earning the No. 2 seed for the ACC Championship.
First Team All-ACC selection Kyle Filipowski averages 16.7 points per game, 8.3 rebounds and 1.6 blocks.
Jeremy Roach, a Third Team honoree, averages 14.0 points and 3.1 assists, while Honorable Mention and All-Rookie member Jared McCain has 13.5 points per game, 5.0 rebounds and leads the team in 3-pointers made (73).
Their other two starters also average double-figure scoring in Mark Mitchell (12.4) and Tyrese Proctor (10.6).
Duke scores 79.4 points per game while conceding 66.8 to its foes.

DUKES LEAD WIRE TO WIRE IN WISCONSIN WIN

JMU built an early double-digit lead and never trailed, repeatedly forcing turnovers and scoring clutch buckets in knocking off Wisconsin 72-61 in the First Round of the 2024 NCAA Championship on Friday night.
JMU, the No. 12 seed in the South Region, pressured the Badgers from start to finish, forcing JMU postseason records of 14 steals and 19 opponent turnovers, also a Wisconsin season high for a team that averaged 9.7 all season. JMU posted a 27-10 advantage in points off turnovers.
Four Dukes scored in double figures, led by Terrence Edwards Jr.'s 14 points. T.J. Bickerstaff and Julien Wooden each had 12, while Bronx native Michael Green III added 11 in his homecoming.
The win moved JMU to a nation-best 32-3 record, which matches UConn's overall mark.
