What a great deal for Humpty. He gets the start in his first game at JMU. But it's tough playing against a loaded team like Kansas State.

Humpty's 1st half stats are 1-3 from the field for 2 points, 1 rebound, 1 turnover, 3 personals, 0 assists and 0 steals. Not sure how many minutes he played, but only 1 guard and 1 forward came off the bench, so Humpty may be getting good PT.

JMU is hanging tough, trailing only 38-30 at the half.

Saw a little of Humpty in the second half. Cocky as ever. And best of all ... still turns the ball over

at every opportunity. JMU, nice point guard you have there.

This may be true, but Humpty will ALWAYS have a special place in my heart as he is the one who hit arguably the biggest shot in the last 25 years of Zips basketball....Good Luck to Humpty-Hump.....My daughter misses you!!!

Humpty got the start, alright, but not the minutes. He only played 12 minutes total, while true freshman Chad Jackson got 33 minutes off the bench. Ironically, Jackson was a HS teammate of the Zips' Dakotah Euton.

Reading the play-by-play on the JMU website, Humpty hit his first shot in the first minute of the game followed by 2 quick fouls and off to the bench. When he returned in the first half, he missed all his shots, had 1 assist and 1 turnover and went back to the bench after his 3rd foul.

He started the 2nd half, had a turnover followed by his 4th foul, and went back to the bench. He returned briefly with a few minutes left, but didn't show up in the stats while he was in.

Losing that much PT to a true freshman in the first game of the season is not a great sign for an experienced junior. Hopefully he'll do better.
