What to Know

The VMI Keydets are 2-11 against the UNCG Spartans since January of 2016, but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit Wednesday. VMI and UNCG will face off in a Southern battle at 7 p.m. ET at Greensboro Coliseum. The point spread is more or less neutral, so fans should expect a close matchup.

This past Saturday, the Keydets narrowly escaped with a win as the squad sidled past the E. Tennessee State Buccaneers 83-79. VMI's center Jake Stephens did his thing and posted a double-double on 17 points and 14 boards in addition to five assists. That makes it three consecutive games in which Stephens has had at least ten rebounds.

Meanwhile, the game between UNCG and the Wofford Terriers this past Saturday was not a total blowout, but with UNCG falling 85-66 on the road, it was darn close to turning into one. Guard De'Monte Buckingham (15 points) and guard Kaleb Hunter (14 points) were the top scorers for the Spartans.

The Keydets are now 12-10 while UNCG sits at 12-9. Two offensive numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: VMI enters the contest with 79.3 points per game on average, good for 25th best in college basketball. On the other end of the spectrum, UNCG is 24th worst in college basketball in points per game, with only 64.1 on average.
