please let us win this one.

and please let me at least listen to HALF of it.

Starting lineup is listed as:

• PORTER, Rell f
  JENKINS, B.J. g
  SMITH, Anthony g
  OHMAN, Kyle g
  BANNISTER, TeeJay g

just realized that everyone is at the game- explains why no one is on here, and no one else is commenting on JB's presser where he announced he's withdrawing from consideration for the LSU job! WHOO HOO!

[PAmedic]

so glad I paid extra for MASN and am stuck at work AGAIN through a televised game

JE indicating VMI smaller than usual tonite should give us the edge on the boards.

As noted above- ACE not starting tonite either due to "disciplinary situation".

[PAmedic]

Reggie Williams gets his own board and gives VMI the early lead, 2-0

[PAmedic]

A.SMITH already 0-2.

not a good nite to start out cold.

TJ misses his first as well, then commits a PF at the other end.

oh boy.

[PAmedic]

DOWN 6-0 now, and Anderson checks in for Rell. All guards in for LU

Ohman blows a layup

VMI ball again. We are coming outta the gate about as FLAT as you can get. Unbelievable.

[PAmedic]

A.SMITH finally gets one to drop, putting LU on the board.

The crowd finally comes to life as well- ACE now in the game

[PAmedic]

Anderson scores on the fast break and VMI takes the first t/o of the evening.

we need to climb back into this thing.

At least its not outta hand.

[PAmedic]

so far its been all Reggie Williams as he's personally outscored the Flames.

10-6 VMI

[PAmedic]

Chavis Holmes comes alive w/ the 3 ptr - the first of the evening for EITHER team over 7 min in

We turn it over and Lonen makes us pay with ANOTHER 3.

Ritchie calls t/o to wake these guys up

[PAmedic]

ACE benched for Porter, not that the rest of the guys were playing "D" either.

19-6 VMI, 11 and change left in the first.

[PAmedic]

Ohman AND ASMITH miss FGs as we fall to 21% shooting on the nite, incl 0-4 from 3pt range

Mortifying.

[HenryGale]

Just turned it on...not off to a great start...down 19-7

[PAmedic]

^^^ post 157k, and wasted on this garbage.

ASMITH makes 1/2 from the FT line.

19-7 VMI, just over 11 min left in the first half

[PAmedic]

TeeJay finally connects from 3 pt range and SJ and the gang come alive.

Keydets bring a good crowd, by the sounds of it.

ASMITH w/ a 3!!!

nice

19-13

[PAmedic]

we give up a quick bucket. but OHMAN drains a 3 and we draw to 21-16!

[PAmedic]

TeeJay hacks Reggie and sends him to the line, but at least Coach woke these guys up.

Williams converts NEITHER of the 2!

[PAmedic]

ASMITH for 2, answered by Hunter w/ 3 ptr- now 26-20 VMI

[olldflame]

Jeremy's 3 cuts the lead in half

[PAmedic]

ANDERSON FOR 3!!!!!

VMI calls t/o as we are now within 3, 26-23 - 5:20 left in the half

[PAmedic]

gack. coughing fit here. At least I know a medic.

Travis Holmes gives the Keydets a 5 pt lead, and promptly gets the takeaway.

we pull in the rebound and feed ACE for the jam!

28-25 VMI

[PAmedic]

PS: by my count, TeeJay's second assist on the nite (which puts him ahead of SCAR) came at the 14:46 mark.

ACE with another slam makes it a 30-27 ballgame

T/o LU as ACE gets called for the foul.

[PAmedic]

we are currently getting OUTREBOUNDED 14-13, but at least we have one less turnover than they do.

VMI converts both FTs but then commits a pretty rough foul by the sounds of it.

evidently the kid's gonna be ok but he is out of the game.

Bannister feeds ACE, gets his own putback and we are down by 3, 32-29.

[PAmedic]

all things considered- we are lucky to still be in this thing, down only by 3 with just a shade over 2 min left.

ACE brings it down to a 1 pt lead

[PAmedic]

ANDERSON ties it with a 3, but quickly answered by VMI with a 3 of their own.

37-34 VMI, LU ball with a minute + left as the pace has really picked up now

[olldflame]

Jeremy ties it with a 3 but they come right back with another 3 and a 2 by Reggie. 39-34
