vs. Radford
58-55
This was a very close game throughout. The Keydets seem to play to the level of competition most often and cannot pull away from their weaker opponents. This could prove costly when entering into the conference tournament and even the NCAA Tournament or NIT when stiffer competition is faced. Radford led the game 23-22 at the break. However, VMI came back and held off Radford down the stretch led by Chavis Holmes and his 24 points and 3 assists.

There seems to be a trend forming in these games. However, the trend was broken in this one. It was all Keydets all game long. VMI stormed out to a huge lead in the first half. They led at the break 31-17. Chavis Holmes led the Keydets to a 17 point victory and had 32 poitns and 5 assists in the win. Stephen Sargent also chipped in 15 points and 8 rebounds. On the defensive side of the ball Sargent was also a factor with his 4 blocks. He is looking for the Freshman of the year award in the Big South.
21-1 (8-0)
Poll News:
VMI remains at the #2 position in the Mid-Major top 25. They also remain in the top 25 poll for the 2nd straight week, this time checking in at #23.

VMI had displayed its dominance and senior leadership in the last two games. In this one the Keydets led by a score of 36-27 at the break. Chavis Holmes once again dominated the first half with 13 points. He then turned it into a whole new level finishing the game 9/18 from 3 and with 32 points and 7 assists overall. Travis Holmes was the side kick in this game. He scored 20 points on 6/9 from 3 and also added 5 rebounds and 2 steals in the 73-57 win.

VMI seems to be getting better and better as the year goes on. Who knows how far they will be able to go and even if they will make the post season tournament. Nothing is guarenteed when you are in a small conference like the Big South. It was all VMI from the start. With the departure of Kenny George from the team in the off season, UNC-Asheville struggled to compete with the Keydets. It was 33-23 at the break and VMI just continued to pour it on in the 2nd half finishing with a 16 point victory. Chavis Holmes continued his streak of 30 point games finishing with 34 points on 8/19 shooting from 3. Stephen Sargent finsihed with 17 points and 9 rebounds. VMI now looks forward to its showdown with 10-1 league foe Winthrop for the regular season crown.
