James Madison Dukes vs. Longwood Lancers Prediction
I’m on James Madison in this one. I just think that the Dukes are the better team with the coaching advantage with Preston Spradlin and his winning mentality wherever he’s coached. Longwood has a lot of potential, and are at home, but I just don’t think it’s enough here when JMU is clearly the better team. Give me James Madison here.
