Purple Over Green

The James Madison men's basketball team avenged a 74-70 loss last season and won 72-57 over Dartmouth in the Big Green's 2007-08 home opener. JMU junior transfer Abdulai Jalloh scored early in his second game with the Dukes as he tallied 22 points Saturday, 13 in the first half.

Madison (2-0) won its first road game of the season, and travels again for a contest at Virginia Military Institute on Wednesday. The Keydets run a fast-paced offense and led the nation in scoring for the 2006-07 season with 100.9 points a game.

JMU should win its third game in Lexington, Va., but the real question is: playing at such a high tempo, will Jalloh elevate his point total to 30 points or more?
