All Aboard! Men’s Hoops Cruises in Road Win
Ron Curry filled up the stat sheet with 15 points, 7 boards, and 5 assists and led four Dukes that made it into double figures as the Dukes cruised to a rare blowout road win over MAC opponent Ball State in Muncie, Indiana last night. JMU improved to 7-3 on the year and continued an expectation-fulfilling out of conference slate. So hopefully the bandwagon’s little trip to the garage after the ECU game is over and we’re all gassed up again. The Dukes host a very solid High Point team (seriously, they’re 7-3 too and lost to Clemson by 3 and beat W&M) this Saturday in the back end of a women’s/men’s doubleheader at the Convo. Kenny’s Death Star tips off at 2 p.m. against a sneaky-good Hampton team (55ish RPI) with the men expected to get going around 5 p.m.
In this game, Satkaus, Grays, and Hall each joined the team’s unquestioned leader Curry in double figures and even with some warts and Andre Nation still playing his way back into shape, this team continued to demonstrate that its improved depth is its most important weapon.
One other quick note: this week marked 10 years since Chattanooga. Two comments: 1) Time flies, 2) Time to get back. But we did enjoy this flashback interview with QB Justin Rascati on JMU Sports.
Score was 72-52 for anyone wondering…
I listened to the game on the radio and the announcer said Nation had a foot injury. Does anyone have more info on the injury?
I’ve really been enjoying watching this team. Nice scoring balance, unselfish play and some good minutes off the bench.
OBXDuke they said it was a missing toenail.
Thanks. Hopefully that will not take too long to heal.
