Coach Dean Keener's leadership of JMU is nearing a close, as he will step down following Madison's involvement in the Colonial Athletic Association tournament.
With three out of four opening round games in the books, JMU plays Northeastern in Friday's last matchup for the right to face George Mason in the quarterfinals. Madison and Northeastern both have 13-16 records, but the Huskies have nine conference wins to Madison's five.
It's anybody's guess how JMU will respond to the situation, but the Dukes won 68-65 at Northeastern in their first conference game of the season Dec. 1.
Ironically, the song "The Final Countdown" by the 80s band Europe started playing before player introductions began. Is that a coincidence or a tribute to JMU's lame duck coach?
