HARRISONBURG, Va. (WHSV) - No. 20 James Madison will look to extend its undefeated streak when the Dukes face Hampton on Saturday. JMU leads the all-time series 5-1 but the Dukes have never beaten the Pirates on the road. The Dukes are 9-0 and ranked in the AP Top 25 for the fifth week in a row. However, the Pirates are riding on confidence as Hampton is coming off two back-to-back wins while scoring at least 100 points. “Hampton is athletic,” said JMU men’s basketball head coach Mark Byington.
