Where's Brown?

The JMU women's basketball team leads Delaware 27-24 at halftime, in the Dukes' second to last home game.

Delaware is playing suffocating zone defense, and no player has reached double figures in the game. JMU freshman point guard Dawn Evans leads all scorers with 9 points on 3-of-5 shooting from beyond the arc. Actually, she hasn't taken any other shots, but that's no surprise: Coming into the game, almost two thirds of her shots (157-of-247) were from 3-point range.

JMU senior forward Jennifer Brown's absence is glaring, and helps explain why the Dukes (18-7 overall, 11-3 in the conference) hold only a slim lead over Delaware (7-19, 6-8). I'm not sure why she's out, but Brown isn't even on the bench. Hope it's nothing serious.
