James Madison’s stunning start to the 2023–24 NCAA basketball season continued on Thursday night against Kent State, when they turned what looked like a sure defeat into a miraculous comeback victory.
Just a few days after stunning No. 4 Michigan State in their season opener, the Dukes trailed the Golden Flashes 89–84 with just 3.8 seconds left in the game.
Despite a significant deficit and minimal time to work with, JMU’s Noah Freidel was able to knock down a contested three to cut the Kent State lead to two points.
