Friend of the blog and recurring JMUSB pod guest, Bennet Conlin put together this 30 for 30 teaser parody, which made us laugh. He gave us the green light to post it here and share it with all you lovely folks. Hopefully it takes the edge off what has been a rather disappointing few days for JMU basketball.
Coach Rowe and the Dukes were on the road against Delaware this weekend, so there was no possibility of free nuggets. And well, they lost again, surrendering a 6 point lead with under 4 minutes. The 68-66 result wasn’t great, but the freshmen were. Matt Lewis and Darius Banks had 23 and 20 points respectively. Zach Jacobs, Greg Jones, and Dwight Wilson combined for another 17 points. Nobody else did much of anything, especially Develle Phillips, who only played 4 minutes. He had a strong outing in Thursday’s loss against Hofstra, so his virtual benching is a bit of a head scratcher. Chalk it up to yet another thing we can’t figure out with this season.
