VMI Takes Down The Citadel for First SoCon Win

Working hard to earn an elusive win in conference play, the VMI basketball team registered its first Southern Conference victory of the season by defeating rival The Citadel by a 75-69 count Thursday night at McAlister Field House in Charleston, South Carolina.
 
The win is the first conference game victory for VMI head coach Andrew Wilson, who also picked up his first career road victory at the helm. It also snapped a 12-game losing skid for the Keydets, who opened SoCon play 0-10 between late December and through the month of January.
 
In a game that featured nine ties and 12 lead changes, the Keydets (6-18, 1-10) overcame an 11-point deficit early in the second half to come back and earn the win. A Taeshaud Jackson II three at the 13:16 mark cut the deficit to three, and Rickey Bradley, Jr. knotted the score at 54 apiece at the 11:58 mark on a step-back three to continue VMI's momentum.
