Another Comeback Win

Earlier this year James Madison beat the Mount St. Mary's Mountaineers 85-73 at the JMU Convocation Center. The final score was 85-73, and the Dukes held only a two-point lead at halftime (40-38).

After an 0-4 start, Mount St. Mary's has won six straight and sits in first place in the Northeast Conference at 6-4 (2-0 in the NEC).

The Radford Highlanders came into Harrisonburg with a 4-7 record, 1-6 on the road. So after JMU beat them by a deceiving 85-74 final score, the question is how were the Highlanders winning 37-32 at halftime?

A 12-day break for exams can take some of the credit, but JMU has a habit of playing down to competition it seems so far this year. But with a 7-1 record (1-0 in the Colonial Athletic Association), JMU has matched its highest win total in Keener's reign. Will the comebacks keep coming?
