By the skin of their teeth, Virginia opened the ACC season with a home win over Pitt. Now, Virginia Basketball heads into exam break with one more game, a road game against the JMU Dukes. JMU sits at 7-2, with losses to Kent State and Murray State, the two best teams they’ve faced this season (at least based on KenPom rankings). Both of those losses came in the Naples Invitational.
The Dukes are coming off an easy win over Eastern Mennonite, a local school that plays in DIII. Not exactly a good representation of what JMU can do as a team.
