And it wasn&#8217;t really that close. Despite an uncharacteristically poor 3 point shooting day, JMU cruised. The outcome was never really in doubt after JMU used a 21-5 run to get out to a 28-12 leave. That was pretty much all she wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Jazmon Gwathmey led the way with 20 points and 14 boards. Kirby Burkholder, Nikki Newman, and Toia Giggetts also reached double figures in scoring. Gwathmey was named the tournament&#8217;s Most Outstanding Player and was joined on the all tournament first team by Birkholder and Newman.<\/p>\n<p>We understand women&#8217;s basketball isn&#8217;t everyone&#8217;s cup of tea. Kenny Brooks has built a team that might just convince some of the doubters to jump on the bandwagon though. The Dukes play an exciting brand of basketball and are about as unselfish a team you&#8217;ll find playing basketball this month. And we&#8217;re talking both guys and girls.<\/p>\n<p>The win earns the team a spot in the dance. Brooks and the team will find out who they&#8217;re playing tomorrow night. Hopefully they get a decent seed, because they&#8217;re a team capable of making some noise and going on a run.<\/p>\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fjmusportsblog.com%2F%3Fp%3D6592&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>Kenny Brooks and the ladies followed up a dominating CAA regular season, with a dominating tourney championship today.
