George Mason (5-6) took the lead for good at 38-36, early in a nine-minute stretch in which the Patriots outscored the Dukes 20-5. That run ended with their largest lead at 54-41 with 6:15 to go and James Madison (7-5) got the deficit no closer than nine from there.
The game had nine lead changes and five ties, but the Dukes never led by more than when they opened the game with a 7-2 lead.
