JMU improved to 7-3 on the year and continued an expectation-fulfilling out of conference slate. So hopefully the bandwagon&#8217;s little trip to the garage after the ECU game is over and we&#8217;re all gassed up again. The Dukes host a very solid High Point team (seriously, they&#8217;re 7-3 too and lost to Clemson by 3 and beat W&amp;M) this Saturday in the back end of a women&#8217;s\/men&#8217;s doubleheader at the Convo. Kenny&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>In this game, Satkaus, Grays, and Hall each joined the team&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>One other quick note: this week marked 10 years since Chattanooga. Two comments: 1) Time flies, 2) Time to get back.
