James Madison scored 5 points in 2 seconds to force OT in stunning sequence

James Madison scored five points in the last two seconds of a game to force OT. Yes, really.

James Madison is already having a phenomenal football season, and the men’s basketball team looks to be carrying over that momentum.

In their second game of the season against Kent State on Thursday night, the Dukes somehow found a way to score five points in two seconds to force overtime.

That’s right. James Madison scored five points in the final two seconds of the game to get from 89-84 at 3.8 seconds left to tied at 89 at the final buzzer.

The Dukes’ Noah Freidel got a three to open things up as the buzzer hit zero, but then the refs put about a second left on the clock and gave Kent State the ball to most likely close things out.

However, James Madison then got an offensive foul going in its direction and a last-second layup from Freidel on the inbound pass to tie it in one of the most genuinely impressive few seconds you’re likely to see in college basketball this season.

James Madison wound up taking the game in double overtime, 113-108, which makes forcing the first overtime session all that more impressive.

After taking down No. 4 Michigan State on Monday in an epic upset, the Dukes are emerging as one of the best stories of the young college hoops season.

We’re very curious on how they’ll continue to play after two stellar wins.

North Carolina cruises past James Madison

The North Carolina Tar Heels improve to 4-0 after beating James Madison 80-64. They will be back in action Thursday to take on Portland.

The North Carolina Tar Heels dominated James Madison Sunday, delivering their best game this season.

UNC got off to a quick 12-3 start and kept their foot on the pedal all game long. James Madison did crawl back with a 6-3 run to make the 15-9, but North Carolina continued to pour it on.

The first half was the Armando Bacot show, as the senior center notched his 50th career double-double with 11 points and 11 rebounds in the first 20 minutes of action.

UNC leads 45-26 going into the half.

The second period started rocky for UNC, as James Madison started the period on a 12-2 run. North Carolina battled back, finally finding their groove, but the game continued to stay tight as each team took turns going on small runs.

The Heels contained separation in the second half despite James Madison’s strong start to the period. Bacot’s domination continued, finishing with 19 points and 23 rebounds in the victory. RJ Davis led all scorers with 21 points and also contributed five assists.

UNC now 4-0 on the season will hit the road for the first time with a battle against the 4-1 Portland Pilots on Thanksgiving.
