The Dukes closed out\u00a0the\u00a0regular seasson\u00a0with\u00a0a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dnronline.com\/news_details.php?AID=55076&amp;CHID=64\">72-69 win on the road at VCU.<\/a>\u00a0Now while Todd and I have worked really hard this year to make sure that at least of of us could attend, watch, or listen to every JMU game, we dropped the ball on this one. Todd was busy taking in a game at his better half&#8217;s alma matter, and I spent the entire weekend handing out with family and friends at a friend&#8217;s lake house. While we&#8217;re both thrilled the Dukes won, it&#8217;s giving us a bit of a complex. We hung on this team&#8217;s every possession all year and never got that big win we were waiting for. Then we take a game off and the Dukes pull off the upset. Maybe the Dukes don&#8217;t actually have a problem with televised games\u00a0at all. Maybe they&#8217;ve just got a problem with JMUSB tuning in.<\/p>\n<p>Because Drexel also defeated Towson, the Dukes still ended up\u00a0as the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.caasports.com\/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=8500&amp;ATCLID=205104666\">6th seed\u00a0in the CAA tournament<\/a>. As a result, they&#8217;ll open things up\u00a0Friday night with a game against William &amp; Mary. Hopefully, the Dukes can carry some momentum from yesterday&#8217;s big win into the tournament and stay hot. After the Tribe, in all likelihood the road the championship game for JMU is going to go through Hofstra and ODU. It is\u00a0a tough road, but not an impossible one. We&#8217;ll break the entir bracket down JMUSB style later this week. And no, I don&#8217;t know what JMUSB style is either. In the meantime, now that we&#8217;ve determined that JMUSB might be a jinx, you all can think of creative ways to keep us from attending or tuning in for the tournament. Solutions involving free beer have the greatest chance of succeeding.<\/p>\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fjmusportsblog.com%2F%3Fp%3D2153&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;height=80\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;\" allowTransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By now we assume you know that\u00a0JMU finally got the breakthrough win against a top CAA team it needed yesterday.
