James Madison brought back just two starters from a year ago, but transfers and freshman transformed this team as they got out to an unexpected 14-0 start and a national ranking. Things have not gone quites as well since, as the Dukes are 4-2 in their last six games. They started the season under the radar at 10-2 ATS but the oddsmakers have caught up to them as they are just 3-3 ATS in their last six, and that includes their only home loss of the season to today's opponent, Appalachian St. The Mountaineers are having a big season of their own at 16-4, and they have been perfect on their home court at 9-0 where they own an impressive 22ppg scoring margin. I like Appalachian St.
