What to Know
The James Madison Dukes and the William & Mary Tribe will face off in a Colonial clash at 4 p.m. ET Feb. 12 at Atlantic Union Bank Center. James Madison is expected to win again but is hoping to meet expectations this time.
It was close but no cigar for the Dukes as they fell 70-66 to the Elon Phoenix on Thursday. Despite the loss, James Madison got a solid performance out of forward Julien Wooden, who had 17 points.
Meanwhile, the contest between William & Mary and the Towson Tigers on Thursday was not a total blowout, but with William & Mary falling 75-60 on the road, it was darn close to turning into one. A silver lining for William & Mary was the play of guard Brandon Carroll, who had 18 points.
This next game looks promising for James Madison, who are favored by a full 10 points. Now might not be the best time to take the Dukes against the spread since they’ve let down bettors for the past two consecutive games.
The losses put James Madison at 13-10 and William & Mary at 5-20. A pair of numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: James Madison ranks 20th in college basketball when it comes to steals per game, with nine on average. Less enviably, William & Mary has allowed their opponents an average of 9.4 steals per game, the 357th most in college basketball. In other words, they will need to work extra hard to take care of the ball.
