That's just how she rolls.
Consider that Hall, who sat out last season with an ACL injury, averaged 20.8 points per game in 2014-15. Here are her numbers against the three Associated Press Top-25 teams the Dukes played that season:
- vs. No. 23 UCLA - 25 points
- vs. No. 10 Maryland - 29 points
- vs. No. 23 Ohio State (NCAA Tournament) - 28 points.
Add Friday's production against the Lady Vols and JMU's redshirt senior guard is averaging 30.3 points over her last four games against nationally-ranked teams.
By the way, Hall and the Dukes visit No. 12 Florida State a week from today (Nov. 20).
They'll worry about the Seminoles later, though. Today it's all about St. Francis (N.Y.), which will visit the Convocation Center for a 4:30 p.m. tip. In terms of size and length St. Francis (0-0) is kind of the anti-Tennessee - no Terriers projected starter exceeds 6-0. Look for the Dukes to try and create more scoring opportunities inside than they were able to manage against the towering Lady Vols.
St. Francis coach John Thurston spent 13 at JMU, as a men's basketball assistant to Lou Campanelli from 1975-85 and then as the men's hoops head coach the following three seasons.
Also on Sunday's schedule:
