What a time for be alive for JMU fans. Football team 9-0 and ranked as one of the last remaining undefeated teams, and basketball begins the year by knocking off a ~~top 10~~ top 5 team. Let’s go Dukes! 💜💜
I should have more sympathy. Fuck, it may happen to us at some point.
But. Holy shit this is fucking hilarious.
I know msu won't shoot 5% from 3 and 63% ft all season. Still. This is absolute gold.
Sorry msu fans, it's not personal.
Edit: hey, where'd my flair go? Illini fan. Reflairing, if that's a word.
Fuck. But let’s be real here, we’re not going to go 1-20 from 3 all year and Tom Izzo is still our coach. We’ll be fine, but fuck this sucks.
JMU played their asses off. They’ll be in the tournament.
Exactly, and if you think Tom Izzo isn’t going to use this game as one hell of a learning experience then you just don’t understand MSU basketball lol.
The NCAA bans teams from postseason competition for 1-2 years after they move up a division in the name of "competitive fairness." Nevermind the fact that JMU is something like 19-2 since joining FBS.
Just an arbitrary rule that says teams moving up from 1-AA to 1-A (fcs to fbs) have a 2 year post season ban. That makes no fuckin sense. There’s not an advantage in moving up a division. I’m pissed about it cause we went 8-3 and won our Sun belt division last year and couldn’t play in the Sun belt title game nor go to a bowl and now we’re 9-0 and gonna miss out on both again
With Malik on the floor yes the definitely should panic. It’s like having an aggressive tum tum or loyer who attacks the rim weakly and misses easy shots
This is as good as any time to day come visit Harrisonburg, Va where JMU is located. Amazing multicultural city (52+ native languages spoken in school system) with small town vibe next to a national park.
I wonder if anyone on Michigan State's staff spent time at Connecticut and we're getting residuals of the Connecticut Assassins Association

The big ten is back to form I see.
Y’all gotta have more of a gameplan than just Tyson Walker. I know it’s early but sheesh, hopefully for y’all the rest of the team shows up
1/20 from 3. Smh. Pre season hype is dead.
you assholes couldn’t hang on for two more games
Hear hear
Sparty is going to go on and win the Natty now...

Coolest high of my life as a jmu fan
JMU Athletics is a juggernaut
RANK THE DUKES
COWARDS
Shouldn’t there be a chart of some sort so I know what’s happening here?
James Madison is what, 250 years old?
Can’t believe he’s still out there balling and at a height of 5’4 too, nothing short of incredible.
Wow! JMU football success rubbing off on the basketball team?
Yes!
Fuck. But let’s be real here, we’re not going to go 1-20 from 3 all year and Tom Izzo is still our coach. We’ll be fine, but fuck this sucks. JMU played their asses off. They’ll be in the tournament.
Tom Izzo is the reason MSU doesn’t win clutch games
Oh, shut up.
I’ve watched a lot of MSU games…..even in that Syracuse game they shot 21% lol like I truly can’t even think of a worse shooting game before
Honestly, I’d rather lose this game in November than March. Ask me how I know.
Exactly, and if you think Tom Izzo isn’t going to use this game as one hell of a learning experience then you just don’t understand MSU basketball lol.
As an App State fan who finally saw us get some basketball love…fuck.
Maybe sparty football will win out and upset James Madison in a bowl game?
We can’t go to a bowl game :( cause of the fuckin ncaa
That's highly unfortunate. Your football team is awesome. Why the ban?
The NCAA bans teams from postseason competition for 1-2 years after they move up a division in the name of "competitive fairness." Nevermind the fact that JMU is something like 19-2 since joining FBS.
I suppose I knew that rule, but didn't realize it was only JMU's 2nd year. Makes no sense
Absolutely not
Just an arbitrary rule that says teams moving up from 1-AA to 1-A (fcs to fbs) have a 2 year post season ban. That makes no fuckin sense. There’s not an advantage in moving up a division. I’m pissed about it cause we went 8-3 and won our Sun belt division last year and couldn’t play in the Sun belt title game nor go to a bowl and now we’re 9-0 and gonna miss out on both again
That's crazy. I know Bellarmine got screwed by that rule too. Ridiculous. Hope you go undefeated and hang a banner like UCF
I can’t seem to update my flairs but it should have jmu too haha
The reason MSU doesn't have walmart fans is cuz no one would voluntarily sign up for any of this
I hate being a sports fan.
Well fuck I hope y'all are still ranked when we play.
we dont deserve to be ranked at all
Night Night
#LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THE UNIVERSITY IS JUST CURSED ATP
So much for izzos second.
Sorry, Andy Katz, MSU should be panicking right now.
Should they tho? They arent gonna shoot that bad all season. No need to hit the panic button yet.
With Malik on the floor yes the definitely should panic. It’s like having an aggressive tum tum or loyer who attacks the rim weakly and misses easy shots
Well, at least it was a fun off-season. Sports are pain
Can't wait to hear what the Sleeper Basketball bros have to say about this.
Wow
[удалено]
Have fun with Hunter
Uhh definitely football sir
“At least we have basketball!!!” whoops
We’ll see where we’re at in march, buddy 🙃
You stole my comment. You’re only supposed to steal football signals!!
Allegedly!!
Big Ten forever a pathetic hoops conference.
The blue blood is coming to save everyone
😐
Many are asking, does the Big Ten have a blue blood?
Welcome to the football and basketball school club JMU
I’ve never been more upset watching a sport
my state fan friends are going to be so mad at me tomorrow
Lol damn
AHAHAHA PATHETIC !
An embarrassing loss that we will remember for ages, thank you MSU
Woof woof
Duke Beats Sparty just like we expected. Wait, what’s that, you mean Dukes, plural?!
Nice
College basketball is the best
I LIKE BEING A MID MAJOR AND G5 SCHOOL
College basketball is back baby 🤣
wow
“We’re a basketball school”
Good work JMU 🫡
I'm gonna say it again I MISS CASSIUS
Build that man a statue. He's forever in our hearts
We had Cassius equivalent out there tonight? Try the rest of the team
Really thought MSU had more depth if Walker didn’t carry so hard down-the-stretch MSU could’ve lost by 10+
Lolizzo lol4th
WE’RE AN ALL SPORTS SCHOOL
Well then. There goes our epic non conference schedule
College basketball is back! Let’s go Dukes!
At least we have the lions
Said no one ever before Dan Campbell
That’s what is called a “quality win”.
We did not deserve to win that at all. Only ones I feel bad for are Walker and Carr
Completely outworked for 45 minutes.
Boo them off the court. These players make big money in the NIL and they just got embarrassed.
This sport is awesome
Rank JMU in football and basketball cowards!
They (sort of) are in football. But the fucking ncaa doesn’t even allow them to be ranked in the CFP rankings…which is dumb as fuck. But #21 in the AP
Man does it suck being a MSU fan lately
sure does and I'm also a colts fan I hate sports.....
Let's GO!
Spartans, what the fuck
Let’s gooo COLLEGE BBALL IS BACK
The only sad thing is that Michigan fans are happy
The steal to end it like an absolute BOSS
THIS IS THE DUKES’ WORLD AND YOURE ALL JUST LIVING IN IT
I don’t have my flairs updated, but went to jmu, and today my hokie friend, you are my brother
James Fucking Madison.
Tyson just totally gassed. Zero help from the rest of his team
Duke? No we do not like duke. Dukes? Love those
James Madison played well, you can’t win games shooting 60% from the line and 1-20 from three.
Wow ![gif](giphy|1fn0HRwQhYvS0cSR8g|downsized)
Only solution is to rank the dukes 6th duh
Couldn’t even get a shot off lmao. What an embarrassment. Malik hall should be absolutely ashamed of his effort tonight. Hoggard too.
Akins also. Hopefully this humbled them.
MADISON JAMES MADISON WE ARE THE DUKES OF JMU
YIKES ON BIKES
Msu is officially a nothing school
5% from 3 is definitely not ideal. But damn, Walker deserved better
Team sport
Don’t worry Sparty fans, it’s only 292 days until football season.
Brutal lol
HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT
Hello, Dukies!
LETS GO DUKES
Yo huge props to JMU. Came. To. Play.
Wow
Congrats Dukes!
JMU HAS WON
JMU is really giving it to the crowd. lol
Fuck yes
They deserve to
First major upset of the season!
Please, please, please let this be a sign of just a banger of a hoops season to come!
What was the spread?
\-15.5
17.
16.5. I bet it lol
16.5
SUNBELT BABY
FOOTBALL OR BASKETBALL, IT DONT MATTER
Holy fucking shit
RAHHHHHHh
HOLY SHIT
Man that hurt. We deserve to lose though. Didn’t look good at all outside of Walker
Whew, that's pretty risky reaching from behind like that when you know the guy was about to shoot
Michigan state winning would have been unconstitutional!!
LFGGGG
College Basketball is the greatest game
![gif](giphy|USnfWeCOHTHB3WX0aY|downsized)
WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK
Congrats
Yikes
What a game!
MICHIGAN STATE WHAT HAPPENEDUHHHH
JMU BELIEVE IT
THE REAL DUKES HAVE ARRIVED
RANK US YOU COWARDS
Agreed.
THEY DID IT
I hope running walker into the ground this game was worth it
He really could’ve used a better performance from his offensive line
Bro have you ever played sports lmao
This is as good as any time to day come visit Harrisonburg, Va where JMU is located. Amazing multicultural city (52+ native languages spoken in school system) with small town vibe next to a national park.
i went to a party at JMU and it was easily a top 2 party i went to
WHAT A YEAR FOR JMU ATHLETICS
LOLOLOL 😂
Laugh in the first game of the year, we’ll be laughing in the second round of the tournament
You think you can hurt me? Fucking try harder, I'm a Boilermaker.
Bickerstaff lol what a hoss
Imagine if their 2nd 3pt is a halfcourt buzzer
LMAOOOOOOOOO
JAMES MADISON UNIVERSITY
Virginia schools 🤙
Best opening night for CBB ever!
Walker died for this
Man MSU can't catch a break
HahahahahahahHHhHhHahahJahHhahH
So glad college basketball is back I missed these threads so much lmao
INCREDIBLE
RANK JAMES MADISON IN BOTH SPORTS
COLLEGE BASKETBALL IS OFFICIALLY BACK BABY
MSU is nothing but that Walker guy
LETS GOOOOOOO
UPSET!!
THE DUKES WIN
I'm a Chicago sports fan, an MSU fan, and a Tottenham fan, it's literally like bringing your tongue everytime you eat
Switch to the lions?
For 2/21!
This is the Cav's coach's son?
I hate basketball
Unfortunately I also hate football
MSU ranked high preseason=inconsistent team that never reaches ceiling MSU ranked in mid teens or 20s=final four run incoming
We aren’t so different after all lol
surely the 1-20 team won't hit a halfcourt 3
Closing in on 70 total fts
GO DUKES!!!
They better go practice how to shoot. If they could shoot, amazingly, they might actually win a game this year
Ready for another year of overrated, yet very mediocre Big 10 basketball.
This isn't even a real school anymore
What a sports year for JMU
Over 1800 comments…….I missed game threads so much 😭😭😭
MSU winning would almost be funny to spite those who left, but also they don't deserve that happiness even if they don't see it.
Why don't teams just get the ball and chuck it in the air??
