Fast-paced Foray

Madison travels to Lexington for its second road game Wednesday, and the backcourt will be tested by VMI in a high-scoring affair.

Last season, the Dukes won 89-87 and attempted 48 free throws in the contest.

Junior transfer Abdulai Jalloh leads JMU in scoring with 18.5 points a game, and is averaging 86.7% from the free-throw line. If Jalloh and the Dukes can sustain their improved free-throw shooting in Lexington, JMU will likely improve to 3-0 this season.

Here's an article from the Daily News-Record that examines Madison's "free throw ladder." If JMU doesn't shoot well from the stripe, three-point shooting by last year's highest-scoring Division I offense (100.9 ppg) will make things interesting.
