Keydets take down VUL Wednesday night

LEXINGTON, Va. – After a slow first half, the VMI basketball team found its bearings in the second half to roll to an easy 106-54 victory over Virginia University of Lynchburg Wednesday night at Cameron Hall.
 
With the win, the Keydets improve to 3-1 for the year while the Dragons stay at 0-0 in what was deemed an exhibition for the visitors.
 

 
Game Summary
Playing without leading scorers TJ Johnson and Rickey Bradley, Jr. and starting point guard Tan Yildizoglu, the Keydets traded points with the Dragons at an even pace during the first half as VMI could not sustain significant scoring runs. VMI went into the break leading by a close 40-35 score.
 
The Keydets gradually pulled away in the second stanza as the shots began to fall with more regularity. A Linus Holmstrom three put the Keydets up by 17, 55-38, at the 15:40 mark and extended to a 32-point lead, 82-50 with 7:16 remaining following a Walker Andrews trey.
