JMU vs Duke Picks & Prediction
It's Duke against the Dukes on Sunday afternoon in New York as James Madison seeks its first trip to the Sweet 16 in school history.
The Blue Devils have been there, done that for years as Duke looks for its 6th appearance in the Sweet 16 since 2015.
JMU knocked off Wisconsin on Friday, 72-61 as the Dukes built a 13-point halftime lead and never looked back.
The 3-point shot has always been a staple of Duke's offense as the Blue Devils drilled 37.6% of its tries from downtown, its best percentage since 2018.
Why that's important here is because JMU limits opponents to 28.8% shooting from long distance, which is 2nd-best in the nation.
James Madison owns the nation's current longest winning streak at 14 and are playing with house money at this point against one of the nation's most legendary programs.
Pick: James Madison +7.5 (-110)
