MuchMany Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) JMU has won their first two games at home by a combined 229-96 against D3 Valley Forge and tonight against Hampton. They were picked by Sun Belt coaches to finish 4th of 14 and are currently 131 on BartTorvik, good for tops in the SB. They have a bit of buzz in the CBB Twitter/gambling world and there will be some mid-major eyes on our game Saturday. I don't know much about their roster, but Takal Molson from St. Mary's Lancaster is a starter and key contributor in his 5th year after two at Canisius and one at Seton Hall.

I am hoping for another good game. If we can get this win under our belt, I will be very happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocCas86 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Kenpom has JMU ranked right next to Colgate, so expect another close game. Both JMU and Colgate would be very competitive in the MAC so very good early season tests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBinMD Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 I checked the roster today and we have 3 players that will likely use up their eligibility: Hardnett, Chapman and Foster. Foster looks like a contributor, Hardnett has his moments and not sure about Chapman yet but was a projected starter. In any case, the core and depth we are building could be really good. Grab 2 freshmen and a contributing JUCO next year and we could really build something. Go Bulls!!🤘🏻🤘🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the portal likely means more roster turnover. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enrique14150 Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 I don't want to get too high or too low about anything yet with this team. We do not know enough about them yet, and THEY don't know enough about them yet for that matter. They're going to be a work-in-progress for some time and I'm prepared for that. They just need to play a lot of games. I liked a lot of what I saw on Monday, and saw some things they really need to get better at. The whole thing is very intriguing.

I liked their killer instinct and attacking at the end. Last years team would have lost that one after Colgate took the lead. No panic which is what I liked most 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No panic which is what I liked most With just one game as a sample size this team appears to have more players with offensive skill and ability. The main question is their team all mentality and spreading the ball around and of course can they lock in defensively. Should be interesting and hope a lot of fans can have some patience and try and enjoy the ride. Go Bulls!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DooleyBull06 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 We are having trouble getting into any offensive sets bc JMU is trapping up high. Causing a lot of disruption. I’ll ask this…who is the true PG on this team? Seems so far in this game everyone is looking out for their own shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UBinMD Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 They feel like they are just off. The JMU D really stretches out, if we can somehow get some back cuts or something to take advantage of the overplay. Guys are trying to do too much individually. Hopefully they can settle down and make it competitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
