Panthers Fall 79-67 to James Madison

Disappointed in the loss but James Madison is a better team. I'll take the home and home split with this team. The Dukes are roaring right now and are playing like one of the top teams in the CAA.

Some positives:
-FT shooting - Panthers were 12-15 from the charity stripe (80%). That's progress folks.
-Keeping Denzel Bowles below his season scoring average.  The dude is a monster.  Eric Buckner doesn't have the weight, James Vincent doesn't have the quicks.  Bowles still went for a double-double but the guy will have many better days on teams better than us.
-Playing JMU even through the 2nd 20 minutes.  JMU outscored us 47-44 in the 2nd half.  We can build on that.

I've said all year, I believe this team will continue to get better. VCU just lost Rozzell for 2-3 weeks with a broken hand. I hope we can get a win over there on Saturday.
