Result: Loss
The Dukes haven't lost since January and are coming off an upset victory in which it was clearly the better team. Other than NC State, James Madison is possibly the hottest team in the NCAA Tournament.
In the win over the Badgers, the Dukes forced 19 turnovers and attacked the rim on offense. These will be two areas of emphasis for the Blue Devils. They have taken care of the basketball (22nd in turnovers), but their rim defense hasn't been great, as their opponents have shot nearly 57 percent at the rim this season. The Dukes attempted 30 free throws on Friday, as well. If JMU does force turnovers, it won't be great for Duke bettors.
