James Madison men's basketball is on pace to win 30 games by the Sun Belt tournament championship round. Despite that, most March Madness 2024 projections have the Dukes missing the NCAA Tournament.

An at-large bid would be historic as well. The Sun Belt hasn't put multiple teams in the men's NCAA basketball Tournament since 2013.'
