Coach Mickey Matthews, now under contract until 2014<\/p><\/div>\n

Our boy Deta can rejoice as Jeff Bourne extends\u00a0Coach Matthews through 2014.<\/a><\/p>\n

We wish this could have included news about a Dukes win over ODU, but it’s a great wrap up of this week’s\u00a0CAA men’s hoop action<\/a> regardless.<\/p>\n

Another blogger captures the mid-major highlights from the week<\/a>, including JMU & the CAA.<\/p>\n

The makeup date for the\u00a0JMU – Radford<\/a> hoops game is all set.<\/p>\n

Former Duke, JD Skolnitsky signs a\u00a0futures contract<\/a> with the Redskins.<\/p>\n

CAA commish reassured the northern teams<\/a>, or at least pretended too in this Portland Press Herald story from Maine, that they’re a valued part of the conference.<\/p>\n

The Dukes’ women come up short<\/a> in the CAA opener and fall out of the Top 25<\/a>, but Dawn Evans leads the nation<\/a> in scoring.<\/p>\n

Five JMU ladies find themselves on the All-State field hockey team.<\/a><\/p>\n

I was pretty sure this story died years ago, but apparently not. A federal judge rejected a bid<\/a> to reinstate 10 eliminated varsity sports.<\/p>\n

And finally, JMU lands at\u00a0#21 on\u00a0the Top 100 best values<\/a> in public colleges list. Other Virginia schools on the list include UVa (wear ties to football games, nuff said), William & Mary (hang out a delis), & Virginia Tech (put WAY too many school stickers on their cars).<\/p>\n
