JMU Women's Basketball is DANCING — and they drew Kenny Brooks & Kentucky The Dukes are Sunbelt champions and headed to the NCAA Tournament, and Jack & Bennett break down every angle of the JMU vs. Kentucky first-round matchup — including the elephant in the room: former JMU head coach Kenny Brooks is now on the other sideline. Is this the feel-good story of the tournament, or a mismatch? Jack and Bennett crunch the numbers on Kentucky's terrifying stats (second in the country in blocks per game, top-20 rebounding margin), debate whether JMU got a raw deal at the 12 seed, and map out exactly what Peyton McDaniel, Ashanti Barnes, and Brie Robinson need to do for the Dukes to pull off the upset in Morgantown. Then — what's the actual ceiling for this program in the NIL era? And how long does Coach O stick around before a power conference comes calling? The guys also shift to JMU football, reacting to the full 2026 schedule. Three straight Thursday night games late in the season, a Week 11 bye, and a front-loaded September — is this schedule a product of the Sunbelt propping up its best TV draw, or a legitimate obstacle for a program trying to return to the College Football Playoff?
