VMI is 3-1. They lost 75-65 to Air Force. They beat Citadel, UMBC and something called Alice Lloyd. They beat that bitch good.

They have score 100+ in two of four games and 84 in a third, so this game could be more entertaining than the past two crushings. Not likely to be any suspense, but at least more entertaining.

VMI has led the NCAA in scoring the last 5 years. If nothing else, they aren't going to come into Value City Arena and try to slow it down like some non-conference teams will do. I'd expect the Bucks to get 90+ tonight.

It should be fun watching Spoon and Thompson playing in this kind of game. Could be some big time highlight dunks!

Oh, I forgot to mention this, guys. But if Ohio State wins, they're 3-0 when I start the thread! :D

First Jackson State, then North Florida and now, hopefully VMI! I know, pure luck on my part, but it's a good streak!

Soooooooooo apparently this game is being played in the past...

The info from Insight:
"The Buckeyes feature a highly-rated freshman class, including guards Daequan Cook and Mike Conley. Reggie Williams(19 ppg in 2005-06) leads the Keydets."

Well the NBA is in a lockout so Conley and Cook are actually re-entering school as Freshmen again... DUH!

I am very disappointed.

I don't see Daequan or Mike out there. :(

Offense is blistering.

Aaron Craft had a "dime" to Willie Buford.

32-14 and still 12 minutes to go.

That was pretty for sure. But Willy B's finish was prettier.

VMI looks like that group of dudes who ALWAYS plays together at the park. No fluidity, just go out there and play.

Yep. Poor defense, and just get "yours"...

And holy shit that was a nasty putback by VMI.

Ravenel impresses me every game, he's gonna be big this year for the Bucks.

Agreed. I'd like to see Amir Williams continue to develop as well. Can never have enough good height inside, especially when it helps spell your best player for periods of time.

VMI is filling it up from 3... They can definitely score.

I was going to say the same thing. We are going to need Williams this season imo

I like the Thompson kid, dude can get up

So much for VMI putting up a better fight than the last 2 teams.
