James Madison University guard Cliff Davis was named the Sun Belt Conference men's basketball Player of the Week on Tuesday afternoon, as announced by the conference and the university's athletics department.
This honor comes amid a series of competitive games for the James Madison Dukes. The team suffered losses earlier in the season, including a 65-73 defeat at Southern Miss on January 31, 2026, and a 61-64 loss to Louisiana on February 4, 2026. However, James Madison has since rebounded with a string of victories: a 73-71 win over Toledo on February 7, 2026; an 81-79 overtime triumph against Georgia State on February 12, 2026; a 69-58 victory versus App State on February 14, 2026; a narrow 67-65 win at Coastal Carolina on February 18, 2026; and an 80-65 road win at Georgia State on February 21, 2026.
These results showcase the team's resilience in Sun Belt Conference action. Looking ahead, James Madison is scheduled to host Georgia Southern on February 25, 2026, at 8 p.m., followed by a home game against Coastal Carolina on February 27, 2026, at 8 p.m. The Dukes will then participate in the Sun Belt Conference Championship on March 3, 2026, with the time to be determined.
The Player of the Week recognition underscores Davis's role in the Dukes' recent successes, though specific individual statistics were not detailed in the announcements.
