CHARLESTON, S.C. – Down 34-30 at the break, a slow start to the second half hindered the VMI basketball team as The Citadel earned a 76-51 victory over the Keydets Saturday afternoon at McAlister Field House in Charleston, South Carolina.
 
After halftime, The Citadel (10-17, 2-12) held VMI (4-23, 1-13) to four points over the first eight minutes of the latter half as the Bulldogs went on a 20-4 run to lead, 54-34, with 11:47 left to play. The Bulldogs continued to clamp down on defense the remainder of the game to outscore the Keydets 42-21 over the final 20 minutes.
 
With VMI leading scorer Brennan Watkins sitting out due to injury, freshman Corey Chesley continued to show his abilities by scoring six points on a season-high two treys to go with a season-best three steals on defense.
