08-09 BKB Game Notes-HPU1.Qxp 2008-09 VMI BASKETBALL KEYDET BASKETBALL GAME NOTES KEYDET BASKETBALL GAME NOTES KEYDET BASKETBALL GAME NOTES VMI Begins Three-Game Homestand With Visit From High Point Keydets Look to Wrap Up First Half of Conference Season On High Note Milestone Watch: Entering Saturday’s contest against High Point, seniors Chavis and Travis Holmes are on the verge of a sig- nificant statistical milestone. After a clarification from the NCAA, Johnny & Eddie O’Brien, who have been considered the all-time leading scorers among twins at Division I, were deemed to have played at Seattle University for two seasons (1951 & 1952) during which the High Point (5-113, 1-77 Big South) school participated at the NCAA College Division, the forerunner to modern day Division II. Therefore, the O’Briens, who at VMI (15-33, 7-11 Big South) scored a combined 3,970 points during their three years at Seattle, in fact scored only 1,446 points while competing at the NCAA University Division (in 1953), the forerunner to modern day Division I. Saturday, January 24, 1 p.m. That development affects not only the Holmes twins, but Ramon and Damon Williams, VMI Class of 1990. The Williams’ Cameron Hall; Lexington, Va. scored a total of 3,252 points in their careers, and are now considered the leading twin scorers in Division I history. The RADIO- WREL-AAM 1450 Lexington Holmes’, however, need only 38 points to surpass their Keydet counterparts.

LIVE VIDEO- Broadcast on the By forcing 22 turnovers and committing only 13 against the Highlanders, VMI continued a pair of impressive streaks. The Big South Edge at Keydets have caused at least 17 miscues while also not committing more turnovers than their opponents in each game this sea- www.BigSouthSports.com. son. The Keydets are 14-1 this season when scoring more points off turnovers than their opponents. Tale Of The Tape VMI boasts four players that are averaging at least 15 points per game this season. That makes VMI the only team in the VMI HPU nation to make that claim, while Marquette, Texas-Arlington and Wyoming are the only other teams with three such players. 95.2 Points Per Game 61.5 This season marks the first time in school history that VMI has appeared on the CollegeInsider.com’s Mid-Major Top 25 Poll. The Keydets are rated 14th in the most recent poll, down from their peak at 11th last week.
