James Madison beat Richmond 87-75 on Friday as a nine-point underdog, largely due to a big advantage from three-point range. The Dukes made 11-of-24 while Richmond was just 5-of-17 from beyond the arc. Shakir Brown totaled 20 points and 12 rebounds, and Ron Curry added 19 points and eight assists. James Madison returns all five starters this season with an emphasis on an improving defense. West Virginia is coming off a 107-61 win over Northern Kentucky. Jevon Carter led his team with 24 points, followed by Daxter Miles, Jr. with 19, and Devin Williams with 18. The Mountaineers always play a physical game under coach Bob Huggins, and this game is being played on a neutral court in Charleston. The posted total is too high for this matchup. Play this game to stay UNDER the total.
