Hempstead, NY - Justin Wright-Foreman scored 33 points for Hofstra, but James Madison forced overtime with a three-pointer at the buzzer and erased a five-point deficit in overtime to post a 104-99 Colonial Athletic Association victory Saturday night at the David S. Mack Sports and Exhibition Complex. The Dukes outscored the Pride, 15-10 in the extra session.

Hofstra slipped to 23-6 overall with the loss and 13-3 in the CAA. The loss was also the Pride's first home loss of the season (15-1) and snapped an 18-game home court winning streak. James Madison improved to 13-16 overall and 6-10 in league action. The 104 points scored was also a Mack Sports Complex record for a visiting team, surpassing the 100 scored by Marshall on November 18, 2012.

In addition to Wright-Foreman's 33 points, the senior had three rebounds, three assists, and three steals. Eli Pemberton had 15 points and five rebounds, while Tareq Coburn added 14 points, all in the second half. He also added a career-high three blocked shots. Jacquil Taylor had 10 points. Desure Buie had eight points and a career-best 12 assists. Dan Dwyer added six points and a career-high tying eight rebounds, which was also tied for game-high honors.

Hofstra trailed, 40-32, at the half with both teams shooting 50-percent in the stanza. Hofstra raced out to a 7-2 lead behind five points from Kenny Wormley. The Dukes would battle back with a 10-4 run to take a 12-11 lead with 14:31 to go. Darius Banks had six of James Madison's points in the run. The Dukes lead would reach nine, 30-21, with 8:21 to play after a Banks layup. Hofstra cut the deficit to four, 34-30, with 5:26 to play after two Pemberton free throws. But the Dukes scored six of the final eight points, to go into the break up eight.

Hofstra opened the second half with a 17-4 run to erase the halftime deficit. Coburn started the run with a three-pointer and following a JMU offensive foul, the junior buried another one to make it 40-38 less than a minute into the half. Another empty James Madison possession resulted in Wright-Foreman draining his first three-pointer of the game, giving the Pride a 41-40 lead with 18:23 to play. It was the first Hofstra lead since the opening minutes of the game. With the game tied at 44, Hofstra went on an 8-0 run behind five points from Coburn and a three from Wright-Foreman to lead 52-44 with 15:59 to play.   

The Dukes would get within five, 63-58, before Ray knocked down a three-pointer to make it an eight-point lead with 9:29 to go. Deshon Parker's three-pointer with 8:04 on the clock got James Madison within four, 68-64, but a three-pointer from Pemberton pushed the Hofstra lead to seven, 71-64, with 7:45 remaining. The Pride went up nine, 77-68, on an old-fashioned three-point play from Pemberton. But Matt Lewis converted a three-point play of his own to get James Madison within six, 77-71, with 6:03 to play. The Dukes would battle all the way back and take an 80-79 lead on a Lewis layup that capped a 9-0 run. Two Buie free throws put the Pride back on top, 81-80, with 2:29 remaining. But Lewis sank a pair of free throws of his own to give the Dukes the lead once again, 82-81, with 2:12 on the clock. Hofstra would tie the score at 82 on a Ray free throw and Coburn would break the tie with a three from the corner. Hofstra looked to have the win after Buie's two free throws with three seconds left. But Lewis drove the length of the court and hit a three-pointer from the right wing to send the game to overtime tied at 89.

Wright-Foreman started the overtime with a three-pointer and Dwyer followed with a layup to give the Pride a five-point edge, 94-89, 58 seconds into the extra session. Trailing 96-91, the Dukes used a rare five-point play to tie the game. Mosley hit a three and Greg Jones was fouled underneath. He hit both free throws to tie the game with 2:17 to play. Lewis then had a four-point play as he hit a three from the top of the arc and was fouled. After the free throw, he gave the Dukes a 100-96 lead with 1:31 to go. Hofstra hit three of four free throws to get within one, 100-99, with 47 seconds remaining. Lewis hit two more free throws with 18 ticks on the clock for a 102-99 James Madison lead. Jones hit two more free throws to close out the scoring.

Lewis scored a career and game-high 40 points for James Madison, which is also a Mack Sports Complex-record for an opposing player. The sophomore guard, who also added seven rebounds and a career-high seven assists, broke the old mark of 38 held by Keydren Clark (Saint Peter's) and Ryan Thompson (Rider). Mosley had 20 points, while Dwight Wilson added 14 points and eight rebounds. Banks finished with 12 points and Parker wrapped up five Dukes in double-figures with 10 points.

The Pride will be back in action Thursday night at Drexel in the first of two road games to end the regular season. Game time is set for 7 p.m. Hofstra will play at Delaware Saturday.
