Jalen Green’s season, and JMU career, has come to an end after suffering a season ending injury against Georgia State.
The DE finishes his career with 19.5 sacks, 15.5 coming this season, and was on pace to have the best single season by a JMU pass rusher ever.

Edwards stuck with JMU for multiple seasons when he had the game to play elsewhere. The same goes for Wooden.
JMU just led Wisconsin from start to finish in an NCAA Tournament game, and both guys scored 10+.
So, so happy for this team.

It’s always fun when people realize JMU isn’t a small school.
JMU fans (there a lot of them) are legit!
Folks, the James Madison fans were READY for their first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2013. The Barclays Center is as loud as I have ever heard this building. I’m serious.

Absolutely adore the UVA and VT fans mocking JMU's strength of schedule. UVA and VT have wins over Richmond, ODU (1 for 2 on that front), Wofford, and Boston College.
JMU ranks 16th nationally in ESPN's strength of record metric. Liberty is 29th, ODU 98th, UVA 102nd, VT 105th.

UVA and Coastal Carolina won't play this weekend. Understandable decision given the horrible tragedy at UVA this week. Chanticleers will be 9-1 when they face JMU on Nov. 26.
UVA's next home game will be against JMU in 2023.
That'll be an emotional day in Charlottesville.
