JMU -12 over Tex St *****
JMU left the Colonial conf and entered the Sun Conference. This will be its 1st Sun Belt home game and JMU cam score. They lost to NC and were upset by Coppin both away games . This team can score and on some night play lights out defense. They are ranked No 1 in the nation in avgs 90 pts a game and one of the top rebounding teams in the nation They have played some tough teams getting beat by NC big and losing to Vir 55-50 They have a good front court that can score and rebound ,In fact Soule their fd played for Tex St . He was a 6'8 fd who could score about 3-4 feet away with his baby hook or put back shots only is about the 3rd or 4th best player in the paint for the Dukes. Amadi and Offrum are 6'7 and 6'8 and Tex paint defense has Ceasar Think JMU shou;d dominate inside tonight. But JMU gds can shoot and score. Molson, Morse and Edwards can all shoot and Ihenaccho is their point gd JMU is ranked 3rd in the nation in steals and has won 7 games to D-1 teams by 48,35.26,19,17, 36,and 16. They also lost to Vir 55-50 . They have blown out teams like LIU and Buffalo and beat Ga St 63-47. So everyone knows their offense is explosive but there defense has shown up and has been missing. Holding Ga St to 47 and Vir to 55. Playing Tex ST who ranks in the 300's in scoring and watching them lose home games to these past 2 weeks to ULM and Troy and relying on Harrell there 5'7 point gd as there only real off weapon think Bobcats are in trouble tonight. Troy and ULM both put pressure on Harrell and he was forced to shoot wild shots and couldn't penetrate. He has the ball 75% of the time Is the pt gd. and Tex St has no other off threats . It doesn't take a rocket science coach to figure out stop Harrell and you stop Tex St JMU is coming off a win vs Marshall and has played some tough teams in NC and Vir. They have blown away Buffalo and LIU and think tonight in their home opener in their new conference they win this game by 20 or more. They did lose to Valpo and Coppin but don't think Texas St can stay with them tonight. JMU front court has a huge advantage inside and has some gds that can shoot and score. JMU has scored 100 pts 6 times this year . Tex prides itself in defense but if Harrell is stopped think JMU can win by +20 like they did to Buffalo and LIU.
