James Madison's men's basketball team has had a memorable season, one that started with a family reunion in East Lansing in November.
Matt Bucklin was deep in thought in his office, pondering potential solutions for James Madison's men's basketball program to find a marquee non-conference game to help boost the Dukes' résumé. In his second year as an assistant coach at James Madison – a Division I program located in Harrisonburg, Virginia with a student population of just over 22,000 – Bucklin wanted to make a splash.
J. Bickerstaff, a fifth-year senior who came from Boston College. After serving in a limited role for the Eagles during a rough 16-17 campaign, Bickerstaff has found greener pastures in Harrisonburg. The 6-9 Bickerstaff has gone from 5.2 points per game to 13.9 points this season, to go along with 8.4 rebounds per contest. 'It was between going pro or coming back to college for me,' Bickerstaff said of his mindset following his fourth year of college hoops.
