2009-10 VMI BASKETBALL KEYDET BASKETBALL GAME NOTES KEYDET BASKETBALL GAME NOTES KEYDET BASKETBALL GAME NOTES VMI Opens 2009-10 Season Against Military Rivals Army Keydets Start Year at Cameron Hall for First Time in Four Years The 2009-10 Keydets return 10 lettermen from last season s remarkable campaign that saw the team post the second-most wins in school history (24), the most conference wins in school history (13) and reach the Big South Championship Final for the second time in three years. VMI returns starters Austin Kenon and Ron Burks, two of the team s tri-captains. Kenon, a junior from Virginia Beach, led the Big South with 3.72 three-pointers made per game, while his 16.3 points per outing ranked sixth in the league. One of the deadliest perimeter shooters in the nation, Kenon will be counted on to pace the Keydet offense this season. Burks, a sophomore from Mitchellville, Md., stepped in as a freshman and started all 32 games at the point. Burks led all returning Keydets in assists last season and may have been most valuable at the defensive end of the floor. He showed his defensive versatility in VMI s back-to-back postseason wins last March, limiting Big South All-Conference power forward Joseph Harris (Coastal Carolina) to just six points before harassing Liberty shooting guard Seth Curry (Big South Freshman of the Year) to just 10 points two nights later. Several key reserves from last year s squad will be asked to take on larger roles in 2009-10. Sophomores Keith Gabriel and Michael Sparks were the team s fourth and sixth leading scorers last season, and will see an abundance of minutes this year. Gabriel thrived as the team s sixth-man last season, averaging 13.0 points and 2.8 3 s per game. Sparks displayed his shooting touch down the stretch last season, 10.8 points per game in a nine-game stretch in February last season. Other key returnees include senior point guard Adam Lonon, the third of VMI s tri-captains, whose 75 career games and 58 career starts are tops on the team, and junior forward Hunter Houston, who missed the first half of his sophomore season before breaking out with 18 pts. against CSU in his season debut, helping VMI to a three-point victory. The Keydets have added three freshmen to the mix, and though the class may be short on numbers, it is long on talent. Forward Stan Okoye, a Raleigh native, will look to continue the program s string of impact players from central North Carolina. Okoye averaged 20 points and seven rebounds as a senior, helping lead Knightdale to three consecutive State Playoff appearances. Forward Nick Gore is a local player from nearby Waynesboro, Va. whose shooting touch will be key to his playing time. Gore was named First Team All Mid-Atlantic Prep last year, shooting 56% from the floor and 42% from beyond the arc. Guard Joe Carr hails from Houston, Texas, where he led The Woodlands to a 27-2 mark his junior year. Last Meeting with Army: Trailing by 14 points with less than 15 minutes remaining, VMI went on a 21-4 run that propelled the Keydets to a 62-55 victory over Army at Christl Arena on Sunday, Dec. 21. The win gave VMI (9-2) its eighth win in their last nine games, the program s best such run since 1990. Army (3-8) forced VMI into one of its worst halves of the season in the game s opening stanza, with the Keydets shooting only 4-of-22 (18.2%) and committing 13 turnovers. Trailing by just three at the half, VMI endured a 16-5 Army run to start the period, falling behind 39-25 with 14:15 remaining. VMI answered with a 21-4 run thanks to seven three-pointers, taking a 46-43 lead when Keith Gabriel hit his third-straight three-pointer with 7:30 remaining. That lead held up the rest of the way, though Army cut the lead to one down the stretch. VMI shot 52% from the field and 53% from the three-point line in the decisive second half, pouring in 10-of-19 from beyond the arc. The Keydets held a 38-34 advantage in rebounds overall, marking the first of three D-I opponents VMI out-rebounded last year. The win marked the fewest points the Keydets scored in a victory under head coach Duggar Baucom. A VMI win against Army would: Mark the second straight year VMI opened with a win after last season s 111-103 victory over Kentucky at Rupp Arena. Give VMI a win in a season opener played at home for the first time since defeating Southern Virginia 71-33 on Nov. 22, 2004. Improve VMI s all-time record against Army to 6-4. The teams have split the last four meetings in the series, while VMI s last win over the Black Knights in Lexington came on Feb. 22, 1995, 91-67.

The last time that VMI opened a season at home came back on Nov. 21, 2005, when VMI lost a 53-49 contest to Army in the team s first game under head coach Duggar Baucom. Overall, the Keydets have fared well in home openers, winning their first home game of the season nine of the past 10 years, with only the 2005 setback against Army breaking the string. VMI Escapes Army With Low-Scoring Win: Dec. 21? How bizarre was VMI's 62-55 win at Army last It was the fewest points that the Keydets had scored and still won under head coach Duggar Baucom. The previous low for a win under Baucom came, not surprisingly, at Army on Dec. 8, 2005 in a 72-63 victory. The last time that VMI scored 62 points or less and still won the game came on Feb. 21, 2004, when the Keydets scored a 61-52 decision against Liberty. Army forced VMI into one of its worst halves of the season in the game's opening stanza, with the Keydets shooting only 4-of-22 (18.2%) and committing 13 turnovers. It was the fewest field goals that VMI had scored in a half in nearly five years, dating back to a 49-32 loss to Coastal Carolina on Jan. 26, 2004 in the lowest-scoring game in Cameron Hall history. After connecting on only 3-of-16 (18.8%) threepointers in the first half, VMI made 10-of-19 (52.6%) from distance in the second half. VMI, meanwhile, made only five two-point field goals and 13 three-pointers in the contest. That is the largest difference between three's made and two's made since losing to Cornell 99-94 on Dec. 1, 2006, when the Keydets hit 19 three-point field goals and nine two-pointers. Williams & Holmes Selected in 2009 NBDL Draft: A pair of former Keydets were selected in the 2009 NBA Development League Draft, held on Thursday, Nov. 5. In the third round, Reggie Williams 08 was selected by the Sioux Falls (S.D.) Skyforce, while Travis Holmes 09 was taken by the Utah Flash in the event s sixth round. Williams (Prince George, Va.) spent last season with JDA Dijon Bourgogne, averaging 12.7 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.5 assists for the French club. The alltime leading scorer in VMI, Big South and Virginia Division I history, Williams led the nation in scoring in both his junior and senior seasons, while he also ranks among the top six in VMI career rebounds, assists, steals and three-pointers made. Last season, Holmes (Charlotte, N.C.) became just the ninth player in NCAA Division I history to amass 1,500 points, 500 rebounds, 300 assists and 300 steals
in his career. He helped lead the Keydets to a historic season in 2008-09, beginning the year with a stunning 111-103 win at Kentucky, when he poured in a team-high 30 points. VMI went on to a 24-8 mark and the program s second Big South Championship Final appearance in three seasons, and Holmes was honored as an All-Conference performer by the Big South. Holmes twin brother, Chavis (Charlotte, N.C.), meanwhile, is averaging 13.5 points and 1.8 steals while hitting all 20 of his free throws for Caja Rioja in Spain, helping lead the club to a 4-2 start. Holmes was selected to the First Team in the Big South Conference and the NABC District 3 last season, the same accomplishments Williams earned the year previous. Chavis capped his career by becoming the first player in Big South history to total 2,000 points, 300 rebounds, 300 3-pointers and 300 assists in his four years in the league. The selections of Williams and Holmes mark the first time that players from VMI had been selected in the NBDL Draft in the league s nine-year history. High-Scoring Keydets Join Elite List: VMI topped the nation in scoring for the third consecutive year in 2008-09, averaging 93.8 points per game. With that effort, the Keydets become just the third program to lead the nation in that category three straight years, and the first to do so since Loyola Marymount from 1988-90. Furman also led the nation in points per game for three consecutive seasons, accomplishing the feat from 1953-55. No team has ever led the nation in scoring for four straight years. VMI In The National Rankings: The Keydets had a banner year statistically last season, leading the nation not only in scoring (93.8 ppg), but in 3-pointers per game (13.7), steals (14.2), turnover margin (+9.5) and turnovers forced (23.6), while ranking third in the nation in assists (18.2). VMI has now led the country in scoring, three-pointers made per game and steals for each of the past three seasons. Individually, the Keydets also boasted two of the top three players nationally in steals per game, as Chavis Holmes (3.4) led the nation while Travis Holmes (3.2) ranked second. Finally, Austin Kenon ranked sixth nationally in threepointers per game, draining 3.7 per outing. Keydets Set NCAA Mark Once Again: For the second time in three seasons, VMI broke the NCAA record for three-pointers made per game last season. In 2006-07, VMI shattered Troy's existing mark (11.86) by hitting 13.39 three-pointers per contest, one of five NCAA all-time marks set by the Keydets that season. Last season, the Keydets averaged a stunning 13.69 treys per game, setting the new mark. VMI now owns five all-time single-season NCAA Division I records, including those for three-pointers made (442), three-pointers made per game (13.69), three-point attempts (1,383), three-point attempts per game (41.9) and steals (490). Road Warriors: While VMI s overall wins (24) and home court wins (13) each counted as the secondhighest totals in school history last season, the Keydets did set a new school record with 10 road wins in 2008-09. That total was highlighted by non-conference wins at Kentucky, Army and Campbell, while the team also went 7-2 away from Cameron Hall in Big South play. VMI scored historic wins at Liberty and Winthrop in league play, while also knocking off the Flames in a neutral site Big South Semifinal matchup at Radford s Dedmon Center. Keydets Advance to Final for Second Time in Three Seasons: VMI put an impressive cap on its unforgettable season last March, advancing for the second time in three years to the Big South Championship Final. In the Championship, televised on ESPN2, the Keydets jumped out to a 13-0 lead in the first two minutes thanks to a combined 10 points from Austin Kenon and Chavis Holmes. Radford fought back quickly and regained the lead some seven minutes later, and while the teams traded the lead back and forth into the second half, the Highlanders pulled away late for a 108-94 victory, despite a career-high 34 points from Kenon. It marked the first time in 32 seasons that VMI had advanced twice to the Conference Final within three seasons. Roos Post Big Wins In Tourney Run: During last year's postseason, the Keydets won each of their first two outings by a 20-point margin. That effort marked the first time in Big South history that a team had won each of its first two tournament games by at least 20 points, and it is the first time in VMI history the Keydets have won two postseason games in a single season by at least that margin. The Keydets' 20-point semifinal win over Liberty was the largest margin of victory in a Big Movin Up The Charts VMI 1,000-Point Club 1.

It also marked the second straight season that VMI has won back-to-back games by at least 20 points, as VMI knocked off Charleston Southern, 109-85, and UNC Asheville, 97-75, in February 2008. Keydets Earn #2 Seed In Big South Championship: VMI earned the #2 seed in the 2008-09 Big South Championship, the best seed the Keydets had earned since joining the Big South Conference. The team's #2 seed was also the best positioning that VMI had in a league-wide (nondivisional) tournament since the 1977-78 season. (VMI was the North division's #2 seed in the Southern Conference Tournament in 1995-96). Interestingly, that 1977-78 tournament was also the last time that a postseason game was played at VMI, when the Keydets defeated seventh-seeded Davidson 95-80 at "The Pit." Last season, the Keydets defeated Coastal Carolina 96-76 at Cameron Hall in the Quarterfinal round of the Big South Championship. Baucom Named NABC District 3 Coach of the Year: VMI head coach Duggar Baucom earned District 3 Coach of the Year honors from the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) last March after leading the Keydets to historic 24-8 season. Baucom, who was also included as a finalist for the last year's Hugh Durham Award, given annually to the top mid-major coach in the country, led the Keydets to their best season in over 30 years in 2008-09. The team's 24 wins were the second-most in school history, while Baucom took VMI to its second Championship Final appearance in the past three seasons. Kenon Consistently On Target: In only his second season on post, Austin Kenon ranked among the national leaders in 3- point shooting. The sophomore finished last season ranked sixth nationally in 3's made per game with 3.7 per outing. Kenon has now played in 48 career games, and already has 176 career three-balls (3.57 3pg), shooting 39.5% from distance. He currently ranks fifth in VMI history in three-point percentage in his career. Kenon is 32 made 3's away from becoming eligible for the Big South's and NCAA's career marks Big South Conference Preseason Poll 1. Radford (23)...........239 2. UNC Asheville..........191 3.

At his current numbers, Kenon would move into the top position in 3's made per game in the Big South while ranking 10th on the NCAA all-time list. With his current percentage, he would also place seventh in career 3-point % in the Big South. Turnovers Tell The Story: A key to the Keydets' success last season was the team's ability to win the turnover battle. Not only did the Keydets lead the nation in turnover margin (+9.5), but VMI did not lose the turnover battle in a single game last year. Additionally, the team's turnover margin increased to +10.3 in Big South games. The squad forced at least 15 opponent miscues in each contest last season, and caused 10 more turnovers than they committed in 15 games, going 12-3 in those games. In Big South play last season, the Keydets averaged only 12.1 turnovers per game while forcing 22.4 per outing. Overall, VMI was 23-4 when outscoring its opponent in points off turnovers. A December to Remember: Entering the month of December, VMI was off to a strong start at 4-2, including the Keydets' stunning, season-opening win at Kentucky. But what VMI accomplished in December was remarkable. The Keydets went 6-0 during the month, running their overall record to 10-2.
Included in the victories were Big South wins over the reigning co-regular season champions, Winthrop and UNC Asheville, as well as comeback wins at Army and at home against Richmond. The last time that VMI had an undefeated month of at least four games came in 1976-77. The Keydets not only went 6-0 in December of that season, but followed that up by going 10-0 in January. VMI Rings In New Year In Style: Thanks to a late 15-5 run on New Year's Eve, VMI knocked off Richmond 73-70 last season.
