Don&#8217;t go cheap on hosting services boys and girls. But we&#8217;re back.<\/p>\n<p>The little glitch might have been a blessing in disguise because we had nothing positive to say immediately after the loss anyway. JMU struggled to score baskets. William &amp; Mary scored a lot of them. When you don&#8217;t score, and you let the opponent go on 20 point runs, things typically don&#8217;t go your way. They certainly didn&#8217;t go JMU&#8217;s on Saturday. Sadly, the Dukes failed to win a game in the CAA tourney. Again. And the season is done.<\/p>\n<p>Ron Curry didn&#8217;t have his best game, but he still led the team with 20 points. He ends his career as one of the top JMU players in recent memory, maybe ever. He came to JMU four years ago as a talented player, but few predicted he&#8217;d turn out this good. There&#8217;s no telling how things might have turned out if the rest of his recruiting class (Nation, Cooke, and Bessick) stuck around. Surely another trip to the dance was within reach. But we&#8217;ll never know. Matt Brady took Curry to the tourney as a freshmen. Now Curry is gone and folks are calling for Brady&#8217;s head. And that&#8217;s a topic for another day.<\/p>\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fjmusportsblog.com%2F%3Fp%3D8410&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>We realize this is a little delayed, but the site was down due to some technical difficulties.
