Last year’s Virginia Cavaliers men’s basketball team had some tough losses, but perhaps none worse than the loss to JMU on the road. That was the first time JMU had ever beaten Virginia in basketball.
That JMU team wasn’t actually good, finishing 15-14 (6-12 in the CAA). This year, they may actually be good. They are 7-2, with losses at UNC (understandable) and to Valparaiso (not so understandable). They are one of the fastest teams in the nation, especially offensively. The combination of quick shots and good shooting is making them very tough to stop. In fact, this team has broken 100 points three times this year (though only once against a DI opponent).
