Last Time Out
VMI fell to league leader Samford Wednesday night as the host Bulldogs prevailed by an 87-78 count at Pete Hanna Center in Birmingham, Alabama.
The Keydets (5-11, 0-3) kept pace with the Bulldogs (9-7, 3-0) the entire game and pulled with one point at the 11:06 mark of the second half following a trey by Sean Conway, but VMI could not sustain momentum as Samford pulled away over the final 10 minutes of regulation to earn the win. Freshman Asher Woods led the way for VMI with 15 points while three others logged 14 points a piece.
 
About Chattanooga
The Mocs are 9-7 this season, and 1-2 in SoCon action with losses at The Citadel and UNCG. UTC hasn't had a home game since Dec. 18 and has been on the road for all three of its conference games.
Former VMI standout Jake Stephens leads the team and ranks highly in the league in numerous statistical categories. The fifth-year transfer student leads the SoCon in scoring (20.4), rebounding (10.3) and blocked shots (2.5) per game and ranks in the top 15 in field goal percentage, free throw percentage, three-point field goals made and minutes. Head coach Dan Earl, VMI's head mentor the last seven years, is in his first season as the head coach at UTC.
