LEADING OFF – VMI (10-8, 3-3) fresh off a road conference win over its military rival The Citadel last Saturday in Charleston, opens up a two-game homestand over three days starting with the Samford Bulldogs Thursday night at Cameron Hall with tipoff slated at 7 pm. The Keydets will be looking for continued success at Cameron Hall this season with a 5-1 mark this year and wins in 16 of the last 18 games played on the home floor that is celebrating its 40th anniversary. Samford, after roaring to a 10-3 non-conference start, has dropped four of its last five - all in conference play - including a close 88-85 home loss to ETSU last Saturday.
