James Madison began competing in intercollegiate men's basketball in 1969, when the school was known as Madison College; the current university name was adopted in 1976. The NCAA did not officially record assists as a stat until the 1983–84 season, and blocks and steals until the 1985–86 season, but JMUs record books include players in these stats before these seasons.[2] These lists are updated through the end of the 2021–22 season.
