Last Time Out - February 18, 2023 - Samford 96, VMI 61 - Lexington, Va.
Starting five freshmen - the first Division I team to do so in the 2022-23 campaign - the young VMI basketball team fell by a 96-61 score to visiting SoCon leader Samford Saturday afternoon at Cameron Hall. VMI (6-23, 1-15) played without the services of senior captain Sean Conway, who went down with an injury in Wednesday night's contest with Chattanooga.
The Bulldogs (20-9, 14-2), entering the game as the top team in the league, revealed it offensive prowess by converting a blistering 60 percent of its three-point attempts by knocking down 21 of 35 from beyond the arc. Former Keydet Bubba Parham logged a team-high 19 points by hitting five of six from downtown.

Last Time vs. Wofford - January 14, 2023 - Wofford 86, VMI 67 - Spartanburg, S.C.
Despite 20 points each from senior Sean Conway and freshman Asher Woods, the VMI men's basketball team fell 86-67 at Wofford College on January 14, 2023, in Southern Conference play from Richardson Indoor Stadium.
The Keydets trailed just 46-40 with 16 minutes left after a layup from Tony Felder, Jr. The Terriers soon opened a double-digit lead and extended the advantage in the closing minutes.

A win over Wofford would ...
--- Be VMI's second league win of the season
--- Be VMI's first SoCon victory at home this season
--- Be VMI's third win over the Terriers in the last seven contests
